How do I make Custom Alerts?
The Custom Alert Screener is exactly what it sounds like; a dashboard where you can set up and track your very own, customized alerts. You can have your custom screener alert you about anything from Analyst rating changes, FDA updates, insider and politician transactions, or your own stock and options contract filters. All of the alert options have their own set of filters and Unusual Whales provides a number of pre-built custom alerts as well. In this video, Unusual Whales demonstrates how to build your own option alert screener.
For example, to build out a custom options alert, select Option Contract. The Option Interval option also works if you’re looking to emulate the Interval Flow feed with your custom alert. In the contract alert tab, you’ll first select whether you want to get alerts for all options that meet the criteria, or just for specific filters. You can also set it to only alert contracts from your watchlists. Set it to “All” to include all tickers.
You can also enable push notifications for it to your mobile device via the app. All you have to do is install the app, then head to settings on the browser version, Notifications, then select which alerts you want to ping your mobile!
