Stock Price Alerts

Price alerts notify you when a stock's price moves above or below your chosen target. You can create as many price alerts as you want, including multiple alerts for the same stock.

Create and view alerts on a stock's detail page, or manage your active alerts across stocks under Profile → Settings → Data → Price Alerts.

Find alerts for a stock

  1. Open the stock from your portfolio or search.
  2. To create an alert, select the bell-plus icon at the top right of the stock page.
  3. Enter a Target Price, choose One Time or Once a Day, and select your notification channels. The options are explained below.
  4. Select Save.

To view existing alerts for that stock, scroll to Your Alerts on its detail page. Select an alert to open its settings. The section appears when the stock has active alerts.

The bell-plus icon is not available for custom assets or custom accounts.

Set the target price

Enter Target Price in the currency shown in the editor.

The -10%, -5%, 0%, +5%, and +10% shortcuts calculate a target from the stock price loaded when you opened the editor. For example, if that price is $100, selecting -5% sets the target to $95, and selecting +5% sets it to $105.

These shortcuts set a fixed price. The saved target does not move automatically when the stock price changes.

Stock Events chooses the alert direction when you save:

  • A target below the stock price loaded in the editor watches for the price to fall below the target.
  • A target equal to or above that loaded price watches for the price to rise above the target.

In the $100 example, the $95 alert triggers when the price is below $95, and the $105 alert triggers when it is above $105. A price exactly equal to the target does not trigger the alert. The 0% shortcut uses the loaded price and watches for a move above it.

When enough price history is available, the editor shows a historical price chart with a line marking your target. The target line updates as you change the value.

Choose how often to be notified

  • One Time: The alert triggers once and then disappears from Your Alerts and the Price Alerts page. Create another alert if you want to monitor the stock again.
  • Once a Day: The alert stays active and can notify you at most once a day when price updates satisfy its condition. It can notify again on a later day while the price remains above or below the target; the price does not need to cross back first.

Stock Events evaluates alerts as it receives price updates. Notification timing depends on those updates and delivery, so Once a Day does not mean a notification at a fixed time.

Choose push and email notifications

Push and Email are separate switches for each alert. You can use either channel or both. New alerts have Push enabled and Email disabled. Keep at least one channel enabled to receive a notification.

  • Push: Sends a push notification to your device. Stock Events also needs permission to send notifications in your device settings. If the editor shows a permission warning, select Open Settings and allow notifications.
  • Email: Sends the alert to the email address linked to your Stock Events account. Email delivery requires account activity within the preceding 30 days.

To review your email setup:

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Select Settings, then Security.
  3. If password login is configured, select Email address to review or change the linked address. Otherwise, select Setup Login to configure your login.

After choosing the target, frequency, and notification channels in the alert editor, select Save.

View, edit, and delete all price alerts

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Select Data.
  4. Select Price Alerts.

This page shows your active alerts across stocks, independently of the portfolio currently selected. Pull down on the list to refresh it.

Each alert shows its target price and an arrow indicating whether it watches for a move above or below that target. A repeat icon identifies a Once a Day alert. The percentage on the right shows the distance from the current stock price to the target.

To edit an alert, select it here or under Your Alerts on the stock page. Change the Target Price, frequency, Push, or Email settings, then select Save. Saving recalculates the direction using the stock price loaded when you opened the editor.

To delete an alert:

  1. Select the alert to open its editor.
  2. Select the trash icon at the top right.
  3. On Are you sure?, select CONTINUE.

If no active alerts remain, the page shows No price alerts set yet. Completed One Time alerts are no longer listed. To create a new alert, return to the stock's detail page and select the bell-plus icon.

If an alert does not arrive

  • Check the target and direction. The stock price must be above or below the saved target in the chosen direction. Equality alone does not trigger an alert. Check the currency shown in the editor as well.
  • Check the price in Stock Events. Alerts depend on the price updates available to Stock Events. A price shown elsewhere may differ or update at a different time.
  • Check whether the alert is still active. A One Time alert disappears after it triggers. A Once a Day alert may already have notified you for that day.
  • Check the delivery channels. Open the alert and make sure Push, Email, or both are enabled, then select Save.
  • For push notifications, check device permission. Use Open Settings in the editor's permission warning if notifications are disabled.
  • For email, check the linked address and spam folder. Confirm your email setup under Profile → Settings → Security and that you have used your account within the past 30 days.
