How to Open the Alerts Modal
On any stock page, look for the action bar near the top — it contains four buttons: ⚖️ Compare, 🔔 Alerts, ✨ Generate Report, and 📚 Guides. Click 🔔 Alerts to open the alert configuration modal for that stock.
The modal has two tabs:
- 💰 Price — for simple price threshold alerts
- 📈 Technical — for alerts based on EMA, RSI, and moving average cross events
Access: Alerts are a Premium feature. You must be logged in with an active Premium subscription to create, view, or receive alerts. Up to 20 active alerts are permitted per user account, spread across any number of stocks.
💰 Price Alerts
A Price Alert fires when the closing price of a stock moves above or below a specific value you set. This is the simplest and most widely used alert type.
Setting a Price Alert
- Open the 🔔 Alerts modal on the target stock
- Select the 💰 Price tab
- Enter your target price in the price input field
- Choose the direction: Above (alert fires when price crosses your target from below) or Below (alert fires when price drops under your target)
- Click Save Alert
Price Alert Type
Price Above ₹X
Fires when the stock's closing price rises above your target. Use this for breakout alerts — "notify me when INFY breaks above ₹1,800".
Price Alert Type
Price Below ₹X
Fires when the stock's closing price falls below your target. Use this for buy-zone alerts — "notify me when TCS drops below ₹3,500 to consider adding".
Tip: Price alerts use the end-of-day closing price, not intraday prices. A stock may briefly touch your target during the session without triggering the alert — it only confirms at market close.
📈 Technical Alerts
Technical Alerts fire based on computed signals derived from price history — specifically EMA (Exponential Moving Average) positions, RSI (Relative Strength Index) levels, and EMA crossover events. These are more sophisticated than price threshold alerts and are designed for traders and investors who use technical analysis as part of their process.
Finmagine uses RSI(14) with Wilder's smoothing — the standard RSI calculation used by most charting platforms. EMA values are computed from daily closing prices.
All 10 Technical Alert Types
EMA Alert
Price Above EMA50
Fires when the closing price crosses above the 50-day EMA. Indicates short-to-medium term bullish momentum confirmation.
EMA Alert
Price Below EMA50
Fires when the closing price drops below the 50-day EMA. A medium-term caution signal — many trend traders exit on this.
EMA Alert
Price Above EMA200
Fires when price reclaims the 200-day EMA from below. One of the strongest bullish structural signals — used by long-term trend followers.
EMA Alert
Price Below EMA200
Fires when price breaks down through the 200-day EMA. A major bearish signal — many institutional risk models treat this as a structural downtrend confirmation.
RSI Alert
RSI Overbought
Fires when RSI(14) rises above your set threshold (standard: 70). Indicates the stock may be overbought and due for a pullback. Set your own threshold — conservative traders use 65.
RSI Alert
RSI Oversold
Fires when RSI(14) drops below your set threshold (standard: 30). Indicates the stock may be oversold. Used to identify potential accumulation zones.
RSI Alert
RSI Above Threshold
General upward RSI condition — fires when RSI crosses above any value you specify. Use this for custom RSI momentum levels (e.g. RSI crossing 50 as trend confirmation).
RSI Alert
RSI Below Threshold
General downward RSI condition — fires when RSI drops below any value you specify. Use for custom weakness signals.
Crossover Alert
⭐ Golden Cross
Fires when the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA. No threshold needed. Widely considered a medium-to-long term bullish trend confirmation. No threshold to set.
Crossover Alert
⭐ Death Cross
Fires when the 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA. No threshold needed. The bearish counterpart to the Golden Cross — signals medium-term trend deterioration.
Note on EMA Crossover Alerts: Golden Cross and Death Cross alerts do NOT require a threshold1 value to be entered. They are purely event-based — the alert fires on the crossing day. All other technical alert types (EMA price position, RSI above/below) require a threshold value.
Understanding Each Signal in Context
EMA50 vs EMA200 — What They Mean
The 50-day EMA represents medium-term momentum. A price above EMA50 indicates the stock is in a near-term uptrend; below EMA50 indicates near-term weakness. It responds relatively quickly to price changes.
The 200-day EMA represents long-term trend direction. A price above EMA200 is the definition of a long-term uptrend for most technical analysts. It is the single most-watched moving average by institutional money. Changes in the EMA200 relationship take weeks to develop and carry more weight than short-term signals.

RSI(14) — Reading the Extremes
RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price change on a 0–100 scale. Readings above 70 suggest the stock has moved fast and far — statistically, mean reversion becomes more likely. Readings below 30 suggest excessive selling pressure and potential snap-back territory.
RSI in trending markets: In a strong uptrend, RSI can stay above 70 for extended periods — the "overbought" threshold becomes a trend signal rather than a reversal signal. Use RSI alerts as context, not as standalone buy/sell triggers. Combine them with EMA position for stronger conviction.
Managing Your Alerts
Viewing Active Alerts
Open the 🔔 Alerts modal on any stock to see all active alerts for that stock. Triggered alerts (conditions already met) are highlighted so you can see which ones have fired.
Deleting Alerts
In the Alerts modal, each alert has a delete button. Click it to remove the alert immediately. This frees up one of your 20 slots.
Alert Limits
- Maximum 20 active alerts across all stocks
- No limit on how many alerts you can assign to a single stock (subject to the overall 20 cap)
- Alerts are persistent — they remain active until you delete them or they are triggered
When Are Alerts Checked?
Finmagine checks all active alerts automatically each evening after market close (19:45 IST). This means alerts are evaluated on end-of-day closing prices. You do not need to be logged in or take any action — the system runs the check daily on all trading days.
Workflow tip: A clean alert setup strategy is to keep 5–8 "active watch" alerts on stocks near key levels, and reserve the remaining slots for long-term structural alerts (Golden Cross / Death Cross) on your core portfolio holdings. This way your most important signals are never crowded out.
