To set up a new watchlist:

1. Select ‘Markets’ from the main navigation
2. Select ‘Create New Watch/Alerts’
3. Type the instrument you want to be alerted to in the ‘Search Shares & ETFs’ search box and ‘Add Alert Criteria’ from the drop down menu
4. Select ‘Alert Type’ from the drop down menu
5. Select when the alert will be triggered and the amount
6. Click ‘Add Value Alert

 

From here you can manage Price Alerts within your Watchlist using the icons on the right hand side of the listing. If you remove a stock from your Watchlist, you can add it again at any time.

You can have up to twenty stocks in your Watchlist at any one time.

 There are two alert types; Value alert and Timed alert. A Value alert is triggered when your selected share price changes. A Timed alert is triggered only at the times you specify. You can choose up to four different times for each alert that you create. Please note prices are delayed by 20 minutes.

You can choose between four types of Value alerts:

  • When the price rises above the value that you set
  • When the price falls below the value that you set
  • When the price increases by a percentage that you set
  • When the price decreases by a percentage that you set

     

Value alerts can only be set on a single share or ETF.
