Set a price notification

Price notifications can be set for investments on your Watchlist or in your Portfolio.

You’ll be notified in the app, and also by a push notification if you have the Sharesies mobile app installed.

You can set up to two price notifications per investment at a time—with a total limit of 500 notifications across all investments in your Portfolio and Watchlist.

  1. Go to the investment you want to receive price notifications for.

  2. Select ‘Set a price notification’ or 'set another' beneath the investment’s price.

  3. Enter the price you want to be notified at.

  4. Select ‘Set notification’.

You’ll only receive one notification per day for each price notification you set, even if the price is met multiple times. If the price of an investment doesn’t change, you won’t be notified.

See all price notifications

You can see a list of all the price notifications you’ve set from:

  • the ••• menu on a price notification you’ve received

  • the screen where you set up a price notification

  • Settings > Notification settings, and selecting ‘See your price notifications’.

Notification prices and timing

Price notifications are only sent when your price is reached during regular trading hours of the exchange the investment is listed on.

Price notifications use delayed data of at least 20 minutes. We check whether your price has been reached only once an hour. This means that the price you’re notified at may be different to the price you place an order for.

To get notifications, you’ll need to make sure you have a stable internet connection—if your device is offline or has poor connectivity, notifications might not come through at the time they're sent.

Price notifications aren’t available for price changes outside of regular trading hours, including during extended US trading hours.

Edit or delete a price notification

You can edit or delete a price notification by going to the investment (or the list of all your price notifications), and selecting ‘Edit’.

You’ll continue to receive price notifications every time an investment reaches your set price (to a maximum of once per day) until you decide to change the price, or delete the price notification.
