Two Core Uses for price_below
The price_below alert has two primary applications. The first is risk management: set it below your entry price as a stop-loss signal so you are notified if a holding falls beyond your acceptable loss threshold. The second is opportunity detection: set it at a price you would be comfortable buying, so the alert fires when the stock becomes cheap enough to enter.
Setting a Stop-Loss Alert
Setting a Dip-Buy Alert
For stocks on your watchlist that you want to own at a better price, set a price_below alert at your target entry. When the stock pulls back to your level, the alert fires and you can evaluate whether the dip is a buying opportunity or the start of a more significant decline.
A price_below alert is not an automatic sell order. It is a notification that triggers your decision process. When the alert fires, check the volume and the AI brief context before acting — a support break on low volume is very different from one on high volume.
Pairing with price_above
For active positions, set both a price_below stop-loss alert and a price_above target alert simultaneously. This brackets the position with two automated notifications covering both downside risk and upside capture. You only need to check the stock when one of the two alerts fires.
