While you are away

Alerts

Get told when a price or indicator crosses a level, on one stock or a whole watchlist, by webhook, push notification or a signal to your trading desk.

A trader's alerts in the app: what each watches, the cross it fires on, whether it is armed or has fired, when it last fired, and where it sends.

What fires an alert

An alert's trigger, the close crossing above VWAP, and a condition that must also hold, relative volume above 2, read back as one sentence.
  • A price or indicator crossing above or below a number or another measure, using the screener's own data points.
  • Extra conditions that must also hold, built just like a screen.
  • An anchored VWAP on your chart: create the alert from the drawing, and it follows the anchor when you move it.
  • It fires on a fresh cross, not while the price sits past the level.

What it watches, and when

An alert's timing: checked during regular hours, firing every time it crosses, waiting 30 minutes between fires, and at most three fires a day.
  • A single stock, or every stock on a watchlist, each checked on its own.
  • During regular hours, or regular and extended hours.
  • Once, or every time it crosses, with a wait between alerts and a cap per day.
  • Templates: start alerts from one, and update every alert that follows it in one save.

How it reaches you

The webhook body a trader designed for their execution engine, previewed from a real fire: strategy, symbol, direction, price, VWAP, relative volume, the quote and a dry-run switch.
  • Signed webhooks, with your own headers and a request body you design and preview.
  • Push notifications to your phone, through your own push notification account.
  • Signals to your trading desk.
  • A test send for every destination.

Your alerts and their history

The alert history: each fire with its time, stock, direction and price, and every destination's answer, one an engine that gave up after six tries.
  • Search and filter your alerts, and turn any one off or on.
  • A history of alerts and changes, with each delivery's result and the reason when one fails.
  • A notice when a delivery fails, and a link from an alert to the trade you took in your journal.
  • Theme alerts: one message after each close about the themes, sectors and industries you follow.
