Alerts Guide

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.

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.

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