Stay Informed about Price Movements

What this helps you do

This guide helps you set up Price Alerts so the platform nudges you when a stock hits a price level you care about. You will create an alert from the Alerts panel, pick notification settings that fit your day, and keep your alert list from turning into a digital junk drawer.


When Price Alerts are worth using

Price Alerts shine when you already know what you are waiting for, but you do not want to babysit the chart.

Common moments to use them:

  • You want a heads-up when price breaks above a level.
  • You want a warning if price drops below your line in the sand.
  • You found a Doji setup in the Doji Screener and want the breakout levels handled for you.

  • Create a Price Alert from the Alerts panel

    Open the Alerts panel on the right side of your workspace.

    At the top-right of the Alerts section, click the plus icon.

    In the Create Alert window, set:

  • The symbol you want to track.
  • Your condition, like Greater than or Less than.
  • Your price level.
  • An expiration date.
  • An optional alert name, so future-you knows what past-you was thinking.
  • Click Create.


    Pick notification methods that match your attention span

    Inside the Create Alert window, choose one or more notification options:

  • In-app notification (mobile push)
  • Pop-up notification inside the platform
  • Sound (only if pop-ups are enabled)
  • Email notification
  • If you want the alert to be hard to miss, pair pop-up with email. If you want it quiet, skip pop-ups and keep email or mobile push.


    Use One-Click Doji Price Alerts when you want speed

    If you are using the Doji Screener, you can create One-Click Doji Price Alerts for a symbol with a couple of clicks.

    Those alerts will still show up in the same Alerts panel, but the platform does the math for you by creating two alerts:

  • A bullish alert above the Heikin-Ashi high.
  • A bearish alert below the Heikin-Ashi low.
  • This is the fastest option when your goal is “tell me if this breaks either way.”


    Manage alerts without overthinking it

    Your Alerts list will show an alert status:

    Active means it is running.

    Stopped means you paused it.

    Expired means it timed out at its expiration.

    If an alert stops being relevant, you have two clean options: stop it if you might reuse it soon, or delete it if you are done.


    Keep your alert list from becoming a mess

    A few habits make alerts way more useful:

  • Give alerts a short, specific name. Something like “AAPL breakout” beats “AAPL.”
  • Set expirations that match your intent. If you only care this week, do not set it for next month.
  • Use the Alerts menu options to filter what you are looking at, especially when you only want alerts tied to the stock currently on your chart.


    Check Alert Logs when you want receipts

    At the bottom of the Alerts panel, Alert Logs keeps a history, including deleted alerts.

    If you cleared things out and later regret it, you can use Restore Logs and choose a date to recover logs starting from that point.

    If you want a fresh slate, use Delete All Alert Logs. The platform will warn you, and it will also remind you that logs can be restored later.


    Quick troubleshooting

    If you expected an alert but did not see it, check these three things:

  • Is the alert Active, not Stopped or Expired?
  • Is your notification method actually enabled (email, pop-up, mobile)?
  • Did the alert expire at market close before price hit your level?
