How to reduce risk with price alerts

My key findings in a nutshell

I've thoroughly tested Fidelity services with our analyst team by opening a real-money account and these are my most important findings:

  • Risk management is an important aspect of trading and investing
  • With price alerts, you can spot unusual swings in an asset's price and take appropriate action
  • Price alerts are available at Fidelity

Many investors fear a scenario where they would casually log in to their broker account, only to find that the price of a stock they own collapsed while they weren't looking. However, you probably don't want to check stock prices every hour either. So how can you spot such a risk in time?

Thankfully, many brokerages have an easy solution for this: price alerts. It's simple: just take a stock and set an alert price (either a specific price or as a percentage of the current price), and you'll receive a ping on your mobile phone or desktop when the stock hits that price; allowing you to access your platform and take appropriate action.

You can also set price alerts for stocks you don't yet own; so you can be notified when a stock price changes enough to be considered a good trading opportunity. No more FOMO! Sadly, not all brokers provide price alerts, or at least not on all devices. So let's see what Fidelity has to offer.
