Price and option chain alerts for NSE stocks and indices
Set an alert on a price, a breakout, a VWAP cross or a change in the option chain, and be told in the app, by email or by a browser notification when it happens.
Conditions you can set
- Price. The last traded price crosses your target, above or below.
- At the open. A gap up or gap down of more than a percentage from yesterday's close.
- Breakouts and VWAP. A new intraday high or low, or a cross above or below VWAP.
- Volume. Trading above a multiple of the stock's own 10-session average volume.
- Option chain. The OI wall moving to a new strike, spot coming near an OI wall, PCR or ATM implied volatility crossing a level, the ATM straddle crossing its VWAP, the ATM bid-ask spread widening, max pain moving, or one option's premium crossing a price.
- F&O stocks. A change in build-up on the near-month future (long build-up, short build-up, short covering, long unwinding), MWPL use crossing a level, or entry into the F&O ban list.
How an alert behaves
Each alert fires once or every time the condition happens, and stays on for today or until you stop it. It can be limited to a window inside market hours and set to skip expiry days, and it can carry a short note that only you see. Before you save, the panel reads the alert back in one sentence: what it waits for, how often it tells you and where. Alerts can be set from the Alerts page, from the Watchlist and from a chart.
Where it reaches you
- In the app. The notification bell in the header, and the alert's own row on the Alerts page, which shows how many times it has gone off and when.
- Email. Up to ten alert emails a day per account; after that, alerts arrive in the app only.
- Browser notification. On a browser that supports notifications and once you allow them.
Scanners and history
The Scanners tab answers a different question: which F&O stocks are like this now, such as volume gainers, gaps, stocks at the day's high or low, build-up types, IV movers or names near the ban. A row's "Alert me" sets up the next event worth hearing about rather than the state already on screen: a stock above VWAP offers an alert for when it drops below. History keeps every alert that went off in the last 30 days, with the time you were told and the time of the NSE data it read.
Limits
Alerts read NSE data that is 15 minutes delayed, so an alert tells you about a move that has already happened, not one in progress. Each account can hold up to 50 alerts. Option chain conditions read the symbol's NSE chain, and a contract that has not traded cannot fire a premium alert. An alert is a notice that a condition was met, not a signal to trade.
Price alert questions
How will I receive EzyOptions alerts?
In the app through the notification bell, by email, and as a browser notification if your browser supports it and you allow it. You choose the channels for each alert. Email is capped at ten alert emails a day per account.
Can I set alerts on the option chain, not just the price?
Yes. Conditions include the OI wall moving, spot nearing an OI wall, PCR or ATM IV crossing a level, the ATM straddle crossing its VWAP, the ATM spread widening, max pain moving and a single option's premium.
Are the alerts instant?
No. They are checked against NSE data that is 15 minutes delayed, so an alert reports a condition that was met in that data. History shows both when you were told and the time of the data.
How many alerts can I keep?
Up to 50 per account, on or paused. An alert set for today ends at the close; one set until you stop it keeps running.
