Trading & macro alerts

X/Twitter Trading Alerts Without the $5,000/mo Stream

The official X API filtered stream starts at $5,000/month. XFlux monitors the accounts you care about and pushes signed webhooks when they post — with optional keyword filters for macro, flow, or ticker-specific alerts.

Account-level precision

Watch @unusual_whales, macro voices, or memecoin KOLs — not the entire firehose.

Keyword filters

Only alert on fed, CPI, $SPY, or specific tickers — comma-separated in Dashboard.

Webhook delivery

HMAC-signed JSON to your server or Make.com — 1s poll on Starter ($19/mo).

Example monitor setups

@unusual_whales

Keywords: flow, block, sweep

Options flow and large prints — filter noise with keywords.

@elerianm

Keywords: fed, inflation, rate

Macro commentary — only alert when Fed or inflation is mentioned.

@DeItaone

Keywords: (none — all tweets)

Breaking market headlines — no filter, every post is signal.

Browse accounts posting now on our live trading signal digest.

How it works

1
Pick accounts you trust
Macro analysts, flow scanners, or sector KOLs — any public @handle.
2
Add keyword filters
Comma-separated terms so you only get hits on $TSLA, CPI, or memecoin names.
3
Route to your stack
Signed webhooks → Make.com, n8n, your bot, or Slack — verify HMAC and act.

Webhook payload on hit

When a monitored account posts a matching tweet, XFlux POSTs JSON to your URL. Wire it into Make.com for Slack/Telegram alerts — see Make.com guide.
