Create Alerts

Alerts Feature helps you track the movement of selected scrips. When you set an alert (target) on any scrip, PIB tracks its movement and informs you when the assigned target gets breached.

This option can be accessed by right clicking on the scrip (on which you wish to add an alert) and select Alerts option. On clicking, PIB displays you the following window:

1) Field - Choose the field on which you wish to place an alert from Field drop-down box. It provides you with the following options:

LTP – You can place an alert on the Last Traded Price of the scrip.
Volume – You can place an alert on the scrip volume on a given market day.
% Change – You can place an alert on scrip's movement (in % terms) through out the day.
LTQ – You can place an alert on the last traded quantity of the given scrip.
Bid Price – You can place an alert on the Bid Price of the given scrip.
Bid Qty – You can place an alert on the Bid Quantity of the given scrip.
Offer Price – You can place an alert on the price that is being offered for the selected scrip.
Offer Qty – You can place an alert on the scrip quantity that has come for the offer during the current market day.
% Price Jump – You can place an alert on the upside movement of the scrip (in percentage terms).

2) Type - Choose the matching criteria i.e., whether the field should be less than equal to (<=) or greater than equal to (>=) assigned value.

An Example

Right click on ONGC scrip in the Market Watch.
Click on 'Alerts' option. On clicking, an alert window opens (displayed in the above screenshot).
Choose LTP (Last Traded Price) option from Field drop-down box.
Choose '>=' in Type field.
Enter 1200 in Value field.
Click on 'OK' button to set an alert.
