What is a price alert?
Once you've signed up to Hatch, look for the bell icon when viewing an investment 🔔 Click it to receive an email when the investment hits the price you specified. You can find the same price alert bell on your watchlist too.
How does it work?
You can create one price alert per investment. We check market prices every 15 minutes, and if your potential investment’s price hits or passes your alert threshold, then we will send you an email. Price alerts are automatically removed after they’re triggered.
What are the limitations?
Our price alerts are great for noticing a general trends, but may not be so useful for day-trading as they rely on delayed pricing data:
Price fluctuations within the 15 minute period between our checks might not be captured.
When you are emailed, the price may no longer be exactly at your alert amount.
