What is an automatic price alert?

 

This is an alert that is set automatically when you buy a stock or ETF and turns off when you fully exit your position. By default, it is triggered when the price changes by 10%. You can change this percentage:

  1. Open the instrument page
  2. Scroll down to your alerts
  3. Select the alert
  4. Change the percentage to match your preferences

  2. Settings 
  3. Trading preferences 
  4. Select Alert threshold

Are there any limitations?

 
To prevent excessive notification spam during extreme market events, there are limitations on the number of alerts you can receive in a certain period of time. The parameters are:
Per instrument
  • 1 notification per 120 seconds
Per account
  • 5 notifications per 60 seconds
  • 30 notifications per 60 minutes
  • 100 notifications per 24 hours
The 24-hour quota starts counting right after the first price alert is received.
