Stock Alerts That Watch the Market For You
Price alerts vs strategy alerts, why alerts beat screen-watching - and how to get notified by email, SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram the moment your setup appears.
Why alerts beat watching charts
Screen-watching feels like diligence, but it mostly produces impulse trades: the longer you stare at a chart, the more setups you imagine seeing. It also doesn't scale - you can watch five stocks badly, while your actual opportunity might be in stock four thousand and twelve.
Alerts invert the workflow. You define your conditions once, close the laptop, and the market comes to you only when those conditions are genuinely met. Less screen time, fewer emotional entries, zero missed setups. The discipline you designed into your strategy survives contact with real life.
Price alerts vs strategy alerts
Price alerts
"Tell me when NVDA crosses $150." Every broker offers these. Useful for levels you care about - but a price crossing a line says nothing about whether the conditions you actually trade are present, so most price alerts end in "now what?"
Strategy alerts
"Tell me when RSI drops below 30 while price holds above the 200-day average, on any stock I follow." The notification is the setup - every alert is a rule-match from a strategy you already backtested, not a number crossing a line.
Get alerted where you actually are
An alert that lands in an inbox you check twice a day isn't an alert - it's a newsletter. Bounce sends strategy alerts over four channels, and you pick per your habits: email for the paper trail, SMS for reliability without apps, WhatsApp or Telegram for where you already talk all day. Link a channel once in your profile and every strategy you switch on can use it.
Setting up a strategy alert
The whole flow is three decisions:
- What fires it - build the conditions in the strategy builder (or start from a pre-built strategy and customise it).
- Which stocks it watches - a single ticker, your watchlist, or a whole universe; the engine checks them all, you don't.
- Where it reaches you - email, SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram, linked once in your profile settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get stock alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram?
Yes - link the channel once in your Bounce profile and any of your strategies can notify you there, alongside email and SMS.
Do alerts trade for me automatically?
No. An alert says your conditions appeared; you review the opportunity and decide. You stay in control of every trade - the alert just makes sure you never miss your own setup.
How is this different from my broker's price alerts?
Broker alerts watch a price level on one stock. Strategy alerts watch a full rule-set - indicators, trend filters, volume - across as many stocks as you like, and only fire when everything lines up.
What should my alert conditions be?
Whatever your strategy says - that's the point. If you don't have one yet, start with the strategy builder guide and backtest the rules before you let them page you.
Stop watching. Start getting told.
Build your rules once, backtest them, and let Bounce ping you on email, SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram when your setup appears.
