These alerts are a way to be notified whenever a certain price of an instrument (CFDs, stocks, ETFs) is reached. You can create your own custom price alerts or use the default ones we have on the app. Check how below 👇
How to create a custom price alert?
- Open the instrument's screen.
- Tap on the Price Alert icon at the top right corner or right below the chart.
- Set a definite price for your alert and Confirm.
🤓 Tip
You can also set price alerts pretty quickly by choosing the percentage price increase or decrease.
Can I set a recurring alert?
Yes, just tap on the Recurring option when creating your price alert:
What is an automatic price alert?
This is an alert that is set automatically when you buy a stock or ETF. By default, it is triggered when the price changes by 10%. You can change this percentage:
- Open the instrument page.
- Scroll down to Price alerts.
- Press the A letter as shown below.
- Change the percentage to match your preferences.
Can I change the default alert threshold?
Yes:
- Go to Menu.
- Settings
- Trading preferences
- 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.
