Overview

Price alerts let you track when the price of a stock, ETF or cryptocurrency moves up or down a certain amount. You can use price alerts to track securities you hold or want to buy.

You have a few types of price alerts to choose from:

1. When a security reaches a specific price
2. When the price increases by a certain percentage
3. When the price decreases by a certain percentage
4. Daily volatility notification
5. The price of a security at a specific time each day
6. 52-week high or low notification

Before you begin

• When a price alert triggers, we’ll send a notification to your mobile device. Please check your Wealthsimple app notification preferences and your device notification preferences to make sure you can receive alerts.
• Your price alert may be delayed. Enabling a price alert isn't a guarantee that you'll receive an alert when a security reaches your target price.
• Percentage increase or decrease price alerts must use whole percentages.
• You can set up multiple price alerts for the same security.
• You can set up an unlimited number of price alerts on your profile.
