The Difference Between the Two Alert Types
A price_above alert fires the moment a stock trades at or above your specified level. A price_below alert fires when it drops to or below your level. Together, these cover the two most common scenarios: breakout entries and stop-loss or buy-the-dip levels.
Practical Use Cases on the CSE
Setting Realistic Levels
Use the stock chart to identify meaningful support and resistance zones before placing your alert levels. Alerts set near recent swing highs and lows tend to be the most actionable.
Pair a price_above alert with a price_below alert on the same stock to bracket a range. You will be notified whichever side breaks first.
