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:
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:
Click Create.
Pick notification methods that match your attention span
Inside the Create Alert window, choose one or more notification options:
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:
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:
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.
