Price alerts for option trades
A price alert fires when the market crosses a number you chose. It does not close the position and it does not send an order.
What you can watch
An alert targets an underlying price. You can attach it to a ticker, or to an active trade, in which case it uses that trade’s underlying. The condition is above the price or below the price. When the cross happens, the alert is marked triggered.
There is no separate alert on an option’s own premium in the alert form. The watch is the underlying price you entered. That matches the way most exits are framed: the stock or ETF level, not a refreshed mid on every strike.
How you hear about it
A triggered alert can reach you on the web, by email, by push, or in Telegram. Each channel can be turned off for alert notices without turning off expiration notices. The message names the alert and the price that was crossed.
Price alerts are part of Essential, along with real-time market data. The Free plan still includes the trade journal, the expiration calendar, and dashboard analytics. The Essential trial is 14 days and does not require a credit card.
