What Are Filter Channels?
Filter Channels let you create multiple independent filter profiles, each with its own settings. Instead of one set of filters for everything, you can have separate configurations for different purposes.Why Use Multiple Channels?
Different Trading Strategies

|---|---|---|
| Whale Alerts | Large trades only | Min $50k, any topic |

| Politics | Election markets | $5k+, Politics tag only |
| Hot Markets | Activity spikes | Hot market detection on |

How Alerts Work with Channels
When a trade occurs on Polymarket:- Predicade checks the trade against all your enabled channels
- If the trade matches a channel’s filters, you receive one alert
- The alert shows which channel it matched (color dot + name)
Even if a trade qualifies for multiple channels, you’ll only see it once.
