How to Monitor Stock Prices with Custom Alerts
Why Stock Price Alerts
Markets move fast. Without automated alerts, you might miss your ideal entry or exit point. Price alerts let you set your strategy in advance and execute without constantly watching the market.
Types of Stock Alerts
Set alerts for: target price reached (buy/sell triggers), percentage change thresholds (volatility alerts), new 52-week highs or lows, and significant volume changes. Combine multiple alert types for a comprehensive monitoring strategy.
Setting Up Monitoring
Enter the stock ticker symbol and your alert thresholds. AlertPulse checks prices at your configured interval and sends notifications when your conditions are met. Works with major US exchanges.
Building a Monitoring Strategy
Set alerts for your watchlist stocks at prices you've identified through fundamental or technical analysis. Use percentage-based alerts for existing positions to manage risk. Avoid setting thresholds too tight — you don't want alert fatigue from normal market fluctuations.
