Price alerts

A price alert watches one instrument and pushes once when its price reaches your target. It then waits until you re-arm it, so a price hovering around the target does not ring every minute.

Writing the codeCopy Anchor Link

Type the code the way you know it; TickTap works out the market.

When you leave the code field, TickTap looks up the current price so you can check it is the right instrument. A code with no quote is refused.

Condition and targetCopy Anchor Link

• Rises to ≥: fires when the price is at or above the target.
• Falls to ≤: fires when the price is at or below the target.

Setting an alert from the Overview is quicker: click a position or a holding, pick a preset such as +5%, or type a target. The direction follows from the target and the current price.

After it firesCopy Anchor Link

The alert shows as Triggered with the time. From the list you can:

• Re-arm it to watch the same target again.
• Edit it. Changing the condition or the target re-arms a triggered alert.
• Pause, Resume or Delete it.
