Anyone recommend a good charting alert tool?

Hi fellow Stockopedia investors :-)

Wonder if anyone can recommend a good chart/technical analysis tool/website that has the functionality to alert the user via email if any of the technical values are reached for a given set of stocks - for example see below:

RSI <= 40

STOCH (red) <= 20

Williams %R <= -80

ADX (black) >= 25

I know Stockopedia has a very limited technical alert setup functionality - but I need something a bit more elaborate :-))

I also notice that Stockopedia does not allow users to view/list these columns/values on the screens - which is a shame.

Thanking you in advance

TradingView seems popular with some members on here and it is free.

Not tried it yet.

Tradingview can be used for this purpose. For example you can have it send you an email or even a Telegram message to your phone. More sophisticated things can be done if you write your own Pinescript code etc.

Hi Guys - thanks for recommending TradingView - I had a look - a lot there!

I’m really only interested in stock market investing :-)

I cannot see on TradingView how I can add columns like RSI, ADX, STOCH etc on my watchlist?

Have I only got access to this functionality if I sign up/upgrade to a certain level?

Thanks for your help people! :-)

You can get RSI et al via Tradingview. Go to the "Indicators" pull down menu option (see screen shot below). I'm pretty sure you can get it for free however I pay for the subscription - money well spent in my case anyway...

Hey Alphaflight - thank you for your assistance on a Saturday night :-)) a BIG thank you!

But you may have misunderstood my query (or I may have misunderstood your response :-)))

I want to see these technical values as columns on my watchlist? … and not have to go into each stock and select the “Indicators” to view these values one by one?

At the moment the only columns available for selection on my watchlist are shown in below photo - thanks ;-)

Hi,

The indicators just get applied across whatever stock/bond/etc you are viewing. From the watch list you can't do anything with indicators in terms of targeting specific stocks. That is to say, you can add these to watch lists. Once you load a technical analysis indicator it just gets applied to whatever stock you are viewing at the time i.e. you don't need to keep applying it.

* Note: You can programmatically have an indicator only apply to a specific stock. I have programmed my own indicators to do just this...

For example, I break my portfolio into different sectors and my indicators monitor them. e.g. I have an "oil & gas" indicator, "base metal" indicator, "uranium" indicator , "Agriculture" indicator etc etc.

So with regard to say my "oil & gas" sector indicator, if I look at Petrobras via Tradingview, a stock which I own, my "oil and gas" indicator kicks in and displays the current value of my Petrobras shares as well as the summation of all of my other oil and gas stocks. The brokerage platforms I use don't allow me to do this. In other words I can immediately see the entire value of say all of my oil&gas stocks or all of my Uranium stocks without having to manually add things up via a spreadsheet or calculator.
