Alerts
Alerts in financial markets are notifications or warnings that inform investors and traders about specific events, price movements, or changes in market conditions. Alerts can be set up to trigger when a stock reaches a certain price, when there’s a significant change in trading volume, or when news related to a particular company or market sector is released. These alerts help investors stay informed and make timely decisions, whether it’s to buy, sell, or hold a security.
Example
An investor might set an alert to be notified when a stock they own drops below a specific price, allowing them to consider selling before it falls further.
