The problem with watching a chart yourself
A price level only matters if you're there when it hits. Watching a chart to catch a breakout or a stop level means either staring at a screen for hours or checking constantly out of anxiety that you'll miss it — and the moment you look away is statistically exactly when it moves. An alert that runs in the background removes that trade-off entirely: set the level once, close the tab, and find out the second it matters.
How it works
- Set an above or below trigger on any stock or crypto symbol
- Checked every minute in the background — no tab needs to stay open
- Email delivery the moment the level trades through
- Reactivate a triggered alert instantly instead of recreating it
- No limit on watchlist size feeding into how many symbols you can alert on
Alerts are checked on a fixed one-minute cycle against the same live price data the rest of WOWS uses — not a push from an exchange feed, so there can be up to a minute of lag between a level trading through and the email arriving. That is fine for catching a breakout to research or a stop level to review; it is not a substitute for real-time order execution.
