Custom Price Alerts
You may monitor price changes for stocks and options you own or follow with the aid of custom price alerts. Price alerts assist in tracking price fluctuations, and you will be notified when prices move above or below the threshold you specify.
How to setup custom price alerts:

- Visit Settings to customize your alert views and manage your delivery notifications.
Mobile
- Download or upgrade to the latest Firstrade mobile app.
- Tap on the 'bell' icon at the top of the position screen.
- Tap on Create Alerts and enter a stock symbol. To set an options alert, enter the underlying stock symbol, then tap on Options on the alerts screen.
- To manage your price alert delivery preferences, go back to the main screen, then go to Account > Alerts & Notifications.
You may tap on any active, triggered or canceled alert to manage or take further actions. When a price alert is triggered, multiple action buttons are provided on the alert detail screen for quick access.
