Settings & Preferences

Notification preferences, data export, display settings, and account management.

Settings Overview

The Settings page is the central hub for configuring your Thrive account. It is accessible from the sidebar or via the command bar (Cmd+K → "settings"). Settings are organized into six sections: General, Notifications, Display, Data Export, Subscription, and Account.

General Preferences

General preferences control the default behavior of data-driven features across the platform. Changes take effect immediately and are persisted to your account.

Default TimeframeSets the default timeframe for charts, returns, and performance views. Options: 1H, 4H, 24H, 7D, 30D, 90D, 1Y. Default is 24H.
Base CurrencyThe fiat currency used for displaying prices, portfolio values, and P&L. Options: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF. Default is USD.
Default Asset ViewControls whether the asset detail page opens in compact or expanded layout. Compact shows price and z-scores above the fold; expanded shows all sections.
Screener Default SortThe column and direction the asset screener sorts by when you first open it. Common choices: 24H Change descending, Composite Z-Score descending.
Time ZoneSets the time zone for all timestamps, charts, and scheduled operations. Auto-detected from your browser by default, but can be overridden.

Notification Settings

Notifications keep you informed about alerts, signals, and account events. Thrive supports three notification channels, each of which can be independently enabled or disabled.

Notification Channels

In-AppNotifications appear in the notification bell icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard. Always available, no configuration required. Notifications persist until dismissed.
EmailFormatted HTML emails sent to your account email address. Each email alert costs 1 credit. Includes direct links back to the relevant page in Thrive.
Push (PWA)Native push notifications via the installed Progressive Web App. Requires the PWA to be installed and notification permissions granted in your browser or OS settings.

Notification Categories

You can enable or disable notifications per category. This prevents important alerts from being drowned out by informational updates.

Alert Triggers

Notifications when your custom composable alerts fire. This is the highest-priority category and is enabled by default on all channels.

Data feed

Notifications when the data feed prints on a watchlist asset. Configurable by minimum score.

Divergence Alerts

Notifications when a divergence reaches severe or critical severity on a watchlist asset.

Whale Activity

Notifications for large transactions on watchlist assets. Pro+ only. Configurable by minimum transaction size.

Account & Billing

Subscription renewals, payment confirmations, credit balance warnings, and plan changes. Always delivered via email.

Product Updates

New feature announcements, platform maintenance windows, and changelog summaries. Delivered via email, maximum once per week.

Reduce notification noise

If you find yourself getting too many notifications, tighten the criteria: raise the minimum signal confidence threshold to 75+, restrict divergence notifications to critical severity only, and increase the minimum whale transaction size. Quality over quantity.

Display Settings

Display settings control the visual presentation of the platform. All display preferences are saved locally and also synced to your account for cross-device consistency.

ThemeThrive uses a dark theme by default, optimized for extended screen time during trading sessions. The dark theme is the only supported mode; it is purpose-built for financial data readability.
DensityControls the spacing between UI elements. Options: Comfortable (default, more whitespace) and Compact (tighter spacing, more data per screen). Compact mode is preferred by power users on smaller screens.
Market TickerToggle the scrolling market ticker at the top of the dashboard on or off. Disabled by default on mobile. Preference persists across sessions.
Sidebar ModeChoose between Expanded (full labels, 220px) and Collapsed (icon-only, 60px). The sidebar remembers your last selection.
Number FormatControls how large numbers are displayed. Options: Full (1,234,567.89), Abbreviated (1.23M), and Scientific (1.23e6). Default is Abbreviated.
Color SchemeAffects how positive/negative values are colored. Options: Green/Red (default, Western convention) and Red/Green (Asian convention where red signals positive).

Data Export

Thrive allows you to export your data in CSV and JSON formats for use in spreadsheets, tax reporting software, portfolio trackers, or your own analysis pipelines. Exports are generated on-demand and delivered as a downloadable file.

JSONStructured JSON with typed fields. Ideal for programmatic consumption, API integration, or importing into databases. Includes metadata about the export.

Exports are free

Data exports do not consume credits. You can export as often as needed. Exports include all data within your selected date range with no row limits.

Collaboration

Thrive currently supports collaboration through notebook sharing and shared dashboard links. Multi-seat team workspaces with role-based member management are not generally available.

Notebook share links

Share selected Research desk notebooks with a secure link for read-only review.

Dashboard sharing

Publish specific Research desk dashboards for teammates or clients to view.

Personal accounts

Each trader account keeps its own credits, journal, and settings.

Account Management

The Account section of Settings handles your profile information, security, and account lifecycle operations.

Profile

Update your display name, email address, and profile photo. Your email is used for billing, notifications, and password recovery. Changing your email requires verification of the new address.

Security

You can update your password, enable two-factor authentication (TOTP or SMS), and review active sessions from the Security section. Thrive never directly stores or accesses your password.

Account Deletion

You can permanently delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete Account. Deletion is irreversible and removes all stored data: trade journal entries, alert configurations, watchlists, Research desk notebooks, exchange connections, and credit balances. Active subscriptions are cancelled immediately without a prorated refund for the current period. You will be asked to confirm deletion by typing your email address.

Deletion is permanent

Account deletion cannot be undone. All data, including your trade history, journals, dashboards, and configurations, is permanently removed from the system. Export any data you want to keep before deleting your account.
