Introducing Improvised Alerts for Stock Monitoring

Keeping up with the stock market is all about timing and context, and with our latest update, staying informed has become more streamlined and accessible. We’ve redesigned the alerts experience on Angel One to be more intuitive, visual, and aligned with how you monitor market movements.

With this update, you can now set up alerts in two simple ways: through Popular Alerts or Indicators on Charts. Whether you’re a trader following signals or an investor tracking price points, the new system provides tools that align with your tracking strategy.

Two Ways to Set Alerts

Let’s break it down:

Popular alerts are quick presets based on commonly used technical indicators like price, moving averages, or RSI. They’re ideal if you want to set alerts without getting into complex configurations.

Indicator-based alerts on Charts give you more control and flexibility. These are created by observing how indicators behave on your chart and setting conditions based on that visual data.

Popular Alerts: Quick to Set, Easy to Use

Popular Alerts are designed around how most users track market movements. When you open a stock and click the alert icon, you’ll see preset alert options such as:

• Price level 
• Moving Average (MA) 
• Relative Strength Index (RSI) 
• Moving Average Crossovers

These presets help reduce the effort needed to configure an alert. All you need to do is select a type, enter the condition (for example, “alert me when RSI crosses 30”), and save.

Note: The securities are quoted as an example and not as a recommendation. Such representations are not indicative of future results.

Backtesting: See How Your Conditions Would Have Played Out

We’ve introduced backtesting for Popular Alerts to help users make more informed setups.

With backtesting, you can simulate your alert condition against historical data. This includes a breakdown of:

• Number of trades triggered
• Total profit/loss
• Win percentage
• Drawdown and performance graphs
• A detailed log of each trade entry and exit based on your setup

It’s a visual, data-driven way to evaluate how your alert logic might have worked in the past—without any assumptions about the future.

Note: Backtesting is a retrospective analysis tool and should not be interpreted as a prediction of future performance.

Alerts from Indicators on Charts: Built Directly from Your Analysis

Some users prefer to set alerts while actively reading charts, and now that’s possible.

Once you’ve applied a supported indicator to a chart, you can define an alert condition based on that specific indicator. Supported indicators include:

• Moving Average (MA, SMA, WMA)
• RSI
• MACD
• Bollinger Bands
• Average True Range (ATR)
• Ichimoku Clouds
• Super Trend 

Here’s how it works:

1. Open your preferred stock and apply one of the supported indicators.
2. Click the alert icon.
3. Switch to the Indicators on Chart tab in the panel.
4. Define your condition using the dropdown and fields shown.
5. Save the alert.

Please note: You’ll only see this option if an eligible indicator is already applied to your chart.

Real-World Examples of How Alerts Work

The new alerts experience is built to help with a range of use cases:

• Tracking a price level: Say you want to monitor if HDFCBANK crosses ₹1475. Set a Price Alert and get notified the moment it does. 
• Following technical signals: You’re tracking RSI for Crude Oil. Set a Technical Alert for when RSI crosses 70, and the system alerts you if the condition is met. 
• Managing portfolio thresholds: Set an alert if your long-term holding drops below a certain price—say ₹500—so you can reassess your position. 
• Observing chart signals: Waiting for a 50-day MA to cross above the 200-day MA on a stock? Set a Moving Average Crossover alert and get notified instantly. 

These alerts are purely user-defined and can be set up to reflect your personal strategy—no matter how active or passive your approach is.

Please note: The securities mentioned are quoted as examples and not as recommendations.

Designed for All Market Participants

Whether you’re a daily trader or a long-term investor, the new alert system helps you manage information better. It minimizes the need for constant monitoring and ensures you’re notified when something important happens—based on your own parameters.

There’s no guesswork, no overcomplication. Just timely, relevant notifications.

Getting Started

To use the new alerts:

1. Search for a stock.
2. Click the Alert icon at the top of the screen.
3. Choose between Popular Alerts or Indicators on Chart.
4. Set your condition, and you’re done.

Final Note

This update is part of our ongoing effort to improve the user experience and provide meaningful tools for market tracking. Whether you prefer quick presets or detailed chart-based setups, the new alerts framework helps you stay in control of your watchlist.
