Alerts is a premium service on chartink.com . Alert notifications are sent when stocks are found in the screeners that you specify. They continuously check for new stocks in your scans and can notify you via multiple channels. We support Desktop/Mobile web notifications, SMS & Email. In this guide we’ll go thru the steps required to create & manager alerts

Creating & MANAGING alert

Open any screener for which you’d like to create a alert for and click on the “Create Alert” button(right besides the Run scan). If you still searching for good screeners, we’ll suggest you start with our top loved scans, which contain a good mix of Scans for Intraday/Swing & Short term trading.

Alert settings:

Frequency

Alerts can run every 1/2/3/5/10/15/20/30/60/120/240 minutes & on daily, weekly or monthly basis. Alerts can also be configured to run at market close & open. Read our FAQ on more details on when alerts are run.

Notification method

1. Desktop/Mobile a.k.a Web notifications – This method allows you to receive alerts on mobile/desktops’ thru a web browser. These are unlimited & preferred way to receive Alerts. Read our guide on how to enable mobile/desktop notification
2. SMS & Email – We also provide you with 2000 credits(1000 sms & 1000 email) monthly. These allow you receive alert notifications over sms or email. We recommend you track the notifications for the alerts you have configured for optimal usage of notification credits.

Minimum stocks to alert

At times, you may want to be alerted when the count of stocks that meet your scan conditions is more than 2, 3 or so on.. By default this is set to 0, so you will be alerted even when a single new stock is found in your Scan.

Action

You could continue the alert after the trigger is met or pause it.

Viewing alerts

All alerts created can viewed on the Alerts Dashboard.

Alert Triggers/HISTORY

Triggers indicate when alerts for screeners were triggered & new stocks were filtered in your scan. Alert triggers indicate when notifications were sent  via your email or sms. Clicking any of the alerts on the Alerts Dashboard would take you to the alert triggers page.

New stocks filtered for a given alert in a day are highlighted and notifications are sent ONLY when a alert finds stocks that were not alerted in its previous run.
