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.
