Technical Indicator Alerts Premium
Get notified when stocks hit key technical signals - Golden Cross, Death Cross, MACD crossovers, and RSI levels - so you can act on momentum and trend changes without watching charts all day.
What Are Technical Indicator Alerts?
These alerts use classic chart indicators that many traders and long-term investors follow. We calculate 50-day and 200-day moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) from our price data and alert you the moment a condition is met.
Golden Cross & Death Cross
When the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day, it's called a Golden Cross, often seen as a bullish trend signal. When it crosses below, it's a Death Cross, often seen as bearish. Get one alert type for each so you can follow trend changes on your watchlist.
MACD Cross Above / Below Signal
MACD compares short- and long-term momentum. When the MACD line crosses above its signal line, it can signal building bullish momentum; when it crosses below, it can signal weakening momentum. We alert you on the day of the crossover.
RSI Above or Below Your Level
RSI (14) ranges from 0 to 100. Values above 70 are often considered overbought; below 30, oversold. You choose the threshold (e.g. 70 or 30), and we alert you when the stock's RSI crosses that level - great for mean reversion or confirmation.
Ex-Dividend Alerts
Never miss a dividend payment. The ex-dividend alert tool notifies you prior to a stock or ETF paying out its next dividend. Use this information to start or add to a position before the ex-dividend date.
Use Cases for Ex-Dividend Alerts
- Opportunistic Buying - Get alerted before ex-dividend dates to capture dividend payments. Perfect for timing entry points to maximize dividend income.
- Income Tracking - Monitor upcoming dividend payments across your portfolio. Essential for dividend investors managing cash flow and income planning.
- Dividend Growth Monitoring - Receive alerts when companies increase their dividends, helping you identify dividend growth stocks and track income growth over time.
- Portfolio Rebalancing - Use ex-dividend dates as natural rebalancing opportunities, especially when combined with our return calculator for strategic planning.
