Stock and ETF alerts built around the conditions you choose

Choose an asset

Select a stock, ETF or index from the symbols available in the app. Sheep Trade also supports alerts for Bitcoin, Ethereum and major cryptocurrencies. Symbol and quote availability can vary.

Set the condition

Start with a predefined alert, configure a complete alert using its available parameters, or build a formula from supported values and indicators.

Get a device notification

When a checked condition is met, Sheep Trade sends a notification from the app on your device. This is not a remote push notification. Timing depends on the selected interval, connectivity, quote availability and Android settings.

Predefined price and market alerts

• Reach a price you set, above or below the current price
• Reach a 52-week high or low
• Rise or fall by 3% during the current session
• Trading volume reaches twice its average over the previous three months
• RSI (14) moves below 30 or above 70

Complete alerts

Set six parameters: alert color, how long the alert remains valid, variable, operation, multiplier and value. Use them to define conditions such as a price approaching a yearly high or crossing a moving average.

Custom formula alerts

Build and name a formula using quote values and indicators calculated by the app. Formula conditions can include more than one symbol, allowing you to combine information from multiple instruments.

Watch a price level

Set an alert for when a stock rises to or falls to a price you choose.

Monitor unusual volume

Use the predefined condition for volume reaching twice its average over the previous three months, or build a formula with volume and average volume.

Follow a technical threshold

Use the predefined RSI (14) thresholds below 30 or above 70, or create a formula comparing the price with an SMA or a Bollinger Band.

Compare moving averages

For example, create a condition for the current price crossing SMA 50, or for SMA 20 moving above SMA 50.

Combine multiple symbols

Create a formula that considers more than one instrument, such as combining the price movement of a stock with the Nasdaq’s movement.

RSI

The predefined alert list includes RSI (14) crossing below 30 or above 70. These are configurable monitoring thresholds, not buy or sell signals.

Moving averages and momentum

Use SMA 20, 50 or 200, CCI (long or short), RSI (14) and ROC in formula conditions.

Bollinger Bands, MACD and volatility

The formula editor includes upper and lower Bollinger Bands, MACD, its signal and histogram, plus standard deviation and standard deviation as a percentage.

Daily quote fields

Formula values include the day’s high and low, current price, volume, percentage and absolute change, opening gap (calculated from the open and previous close), 52-week high and low, and three-month average volume.

Alerts are checked by your device

You choose how often the app checks alerts, with intervals such as 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Android exact alarms schedule the check on your device during the configured market hours and trading days. If the app is not open, the app can still show a notification when an alert is triggered. These are device notifications, not server-based push notifications.

Checks are not guaranteed to be instant

The check is scheduled at your selected interval during the configured monitoring window, so an alert is not a continuous, tick-by-tick monitor. For example, with a 30-minute interval, the next check may not happen until nearly 30 minutes after a condition becomes true. Internet access, quote availability, Android exact-alarm permission and background restrictions can add further delay.

Only US market quotes are real-time

Sheep Trade receives real-time data for the US market. Quotes for all other markets are delayed. An alert based on a delayed quote can therefore be triggered later than the market movement it is tracking.
