// price alerts
E-mail alerts when a stock closes past your price.
Set a number on any stock you follow. When the day closes past it, one e-mail tells you which, at what price, and on what date. No app to install, nothing buzzing at 15:42.

Closed at 182.40 on 2 Aug, over your 180.00. One e-mail, after the close.
How it works
You type a price. Monsa works out what you meant by it: a number above the last close is you waiting for a rise, below it is you waiting for a fall. There is no second question to answer and no direction to pick.
After the close, every target you have set is compared to the day's closing price. Anything reached goes into one message to the address you signed in with, and appears on your own page inside Monsa so a spam filter is not the last word.
A target fires once. What was reached stays visible until you clear it, and setting the next one is a field and a button.
What you get
5 price targets per ticker
A level to add at and a level to get out at are two different questions about one stock. Set both, and three more. Each fires on its own.
Up to 50 tickers
Everything you follow, held or not. A stock you sold is often the one you most want to hear about again, so the watchlist counts the same as the book.
250 price targets in total
The ceiling, stated before you pay rather than discovered at the point you hit it. It is the same number for everybody; there is one plan.
One e-mail a night
Not one per alert. Whatever was reached that day arrives in a single message, with the close and the date that decided it.
A level decided in advance is a level you can still think about. The one you invent while the price is moving is the one you argue yourself out of.
End of day, on purpose
This is the part worth being clear about before you pay. Monsa reads closing prices. A stock that touches your number at lunch and closes back below it does not send anything, and no wording here is going to change that.
If you need to know inside the minute, your broker already does this and does it better. What you are choosing here is the opposite thing: a level you decided on calmly, checked once, and reported once. The close is the price the market actually agreed on that day, and it is the one an investor with a multi-year horizon was going to act on anyway.
Nothing on this page is a claim about where a price will go. A target is your number, and the alert is a fact about the closing price reaching it.
And the rest of it comes along
Alerts are one thing Monsa does. The main one is scoring what you hold against the rules you wrote down, so the same account that e-mails you about a price also tells you whether the stock still belongs in the portfolio you bought it for.
There is one plan and one price, so the alerts are not a tier and nothing here is held back for a bigger one. If you only ever use the targets, that is a fine way to use it. Why it costs money explains the trade.
One plan, priced up front. Set your first target in the minute after you sign in.
