Set up price alerts
Goal. Get notified when a symbol crosses a price you care about — entry, exit, or stop-out level.
Setup
- Symbol on your Watchlist (or focused in the Market panel).
- Email verified in Settings → Profile if you want email delivery.
Steps
- Open the watchlist. Sidebar → watchlist icon, or
gthenw. - Find your symbol. Use
↑/↓to highlight, or click the row. - Open the alert composer. Click the bell icon on the row, or press
bwith the row highlighted. - Pick the trigger type. Choose Price threshold. (Other types: volume spike, news keyword, price-target shift — see Alerts.)
- Set the threshold. Enter the absolute price and choose above or below. The composer shows the current price and how far you are from the threshold in %.
- Pick a window. Always-on, market-hours-only, or a custom schedule.
- Pick a delivery channel. In-app toast, email, or both.
- Save. The alert appears in the alerts panel with state
active(ortrackingif you're already within 1% of the trigger).
What you should see
- A bell icon next to the symbol's row in the watchlist.
- A row in the alerts panel showing the rule, current distance to trigger, and state badge.
- (When triggered) a toast notification and/or an email; the alert moves to "fired" history.
Variations
- Stop-loss style — set a below-threshold ~5% under your average cost from the Market panel Portfolio view.
- Breakout — combine a price threshold above resistance with a volume-spike alert on the same symbol (composer supports AND combinator).
- Keep firing — alerts default to one-shot. Toggle Re-arm to re-fire on subsequent crossings.
Tips
- Triggered alerts move to "fired" history but stay associated with the symbol — re-arm from history rather than rebuilding from scratch.
- Email delivery uses the address verified in your profile, not the login email if those differ.
- Watch your active-alert count — soft cap is ~100; the composer will warn before you exceed it.
