Vault Alerts — pick your metals, set how rare

How the alert score works

Each market gets scored 1–10 every reporting day for how interesting today's activity is, compared against its own historical patterns — how far it stands from recent averages, multi-day streaks, and record lows. The score drives whether you get an email, and shows up next to each story as a colored pill so you can tell major news from routine drift at a glance.

Routine · 5–6/10 Notable · 7–8/10 Major · 9–10/10
