What is a Price Alert?

Price Alerts can be set by reference to value (Value Alert) or percentage change (Change % Alert) for certain Shares and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Value alerts can be set to notify you:  

  • when the price of a Share or ETF reaches or rises above a specific value as selected by you.  
  • when the price of a Share or ETF reaches or falls below a specific value as selected by you. 

Change % alerts can be set to notify you:

  • when the price increases by a specific percentage as selected by you.
  • when the price decreases by a specific percentage as selected by you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

  • Price alerts are not available for Non-Exchange Traded Funds.
  • Price alerts can only be set on an individual Share or ETF.
  • Prices are delayed by 15 minutes.

It is possible to create a watchlist to monitor the movement of up to 20 Shares or ETFs of interest to you.
