What are stock alerts?

Monitor supported stocks, ETFs, and indexes — automatically

A stock alert notifies you when a market condition you define is met — without you having to watch charts all day. Instead of checking prices manually, you configure a rule once and receive an alert after a scheduled evaluation finds that your conditions fire.

FearAlert supports two complementary approaches: sentiment-based alerts using the Fear & Greed Index, and technical alerts on individual stocks and ETFs using indicators like RSI, MACD, SMA, EMA, Bollinger Bands, and more. The real power is combining both — for example, alerting only when the market is in extreme fear and RSI on AAPL drops below 30.

Price Target Alerts

Alert when a stock or ETF price crosses above or below a specific dollar level. Use SMA or EMA as a dynamic, moving price target.

RSI Alerts

Get notified when RSI drops below 30 (oversold) or rises above 70 (overbought) for any ticker. A classic momentum indicator, automated.

MACD Alerts

Alert when MACD crosses above or below its signal line — one of the most widely used trend-reversal signals in technical analysis.

Learn more →

Bollinger Band Alerts

Fire an alert when price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band (potential overbought) or below the lower band (potential oversold).

Compound Condition Alerts

Chain up to 10 indicators with AND / OR logic. Alert only when multiple conditions are simultaneously true for maximum signal quality.

Fear & Greed Index Alerts

Combine stock technical alerts with the Fear & Greed Index. Alert when the market is in fear territory AND your stock hits an RSI oversold level.
