What is Spodin?

Spodin (short for Spear of Odin) is our proprietary closed-system alert; with it, you can set personalized price alerts that are sent directly to your phone via call or text when specific price levels are reached. By using Spodin, you can rest assured that your price alerts remain confidential and secure, which eliminates the risk of your trading intentions being exploited by market makers.

How to Access Spodin

In the BigShort app, click on Spodin in the side menu.


Add your Phone Number

Be sure to add your phone number in the upper right-hand corner to ensure you receive your alerts.


How to Set a Spodin

Click on the search box in the upper right-hand corner to find your desired ticker.

Enter the ticker, then press enter. Then enter the price target, and what message you'd like to receive when that ticker trades for that value. You can choose whether you'd like Spodin to call, text, or both. Then click "Add Alert."


How to Reset a Spodin

When the price target of the Spodin is hit, you'll receive a call/text to the phone number you added. The triggered Spodin will be highlighted in teal, and will not alert you again. You can choose to reset the Spodin, meaning you'll receive another call/text when that price is hit, by selecting "Reset" under Options.


How to Edit a Spodin

If you'd like to edit an existing Spodin, hit "Edit" under Options and type in your new price target.


How to Delete a Spodin

If you'd like to delete an existing Spodin, simply hit "Delete" under Options and your Spodin will be removed.
