Never miss important price movements or trading opportunities with Stratify's intelligent alert system. Get notified instantly when stocks hit your target prices or trigger technical conditions.
Alerts are real-time: Monitored continuously during market hours and triggered instantly when conditions are met, with notifications sent via email, in-app, or webhooks.
Stratify supports multiple alert types to cover different trading scenarios:
Trigger when a stock reaches a specific price level. Most common alert type for entry/exit points.
Examples:
Use for: Target entry prices, stop loss levels, profit taking
Trigger when a stock moves by a certain percentage from current price or from a reference point.
Examples:
Use for: Catching big moves, breakouts, volatility spikes
Trigger when trading volume exceeds normal levels, indicating increased interest or institutional activity.
Examples:
Use for: Spotting breakouts, news events, institutional moves
Trigger based on technical analysis indicators crossing thresholds or generating signals.
Examples:
Use for: Strategy signals, overbought/oversold, trend changes
Trigger when social media sentiment or news sentiment reaches certain levels.
Examples:
Use for: News-driven trading, meme stocks, event detection
Quick tip: Most common alert is "price above/below X". The alert form pre-selects this based on current price for one-click creation.

Too many alerts = you'll ignore them all. Set only meaningful alerts for actionable opportunities. Limit to 10-15 active alerts maximum.
Don't set alerts for tiny moves you won't act on. A 0.5% alert on a stable blue chip is noise. Use 3-5% or more for actionable alerts.
Better alerts use multiple criteria: "Alert when price > $180 AND RSI < 70 AND volume > 1.5x average" filters noise and finds high-probability setups.
When creating alerts, add notes about WHY and WHAT TO DO: "Entry signal for momentum trade - buy 100 shares if volume confirms" helps you act quickly when triggered.
Weekly review: delete expired/irrelevant alerts, update thresholds based on new price levels, pause alerts during earnings if you don't trade through events.
Create a test alert that will trigger immediately to verify email delivery and webhook integration work correctly. Better to test now than miss a critical alert later.
Track your alert performance and learn from past triggers:
View all past alert triggers with timestamps, prices, and outcomes. See if the alert led to profitable trades.
Track success rate: how many triggered alerts resulted in profitable trades? Helps identify which alert types work best for you.
Mark alerts that triggered but weren't actionable. System learns to reduce noise over time.
