 ===== What's a Technical Alert? =====
-Technical alerts continually search our entire database of stocks, ETFs, mutual funds and more to uncover symbols that meet your exact technical criteria. Perhaps you're interested in stocks crossing their 20-day moving average, or ETFs setting a new 52-week high. Whatever it may be, we'll notify you via email, SMS text message, or an alert bar on the SharpCharts Workbench whenever your specific technical alerts are triggered!

-(Note: Like technical scans, custom technical alerts are not available to Basic members)
 ===== Setting Up a Technical Alert =====
-As an Extra or a Pro member, you can create and install your own custom alerts using specific technical criteria. Extra members can create and install up to 10 different alerts, while Pro members can create and install up to 100. To create, edit and install a custom alert, use the [[https://stockcharts.com/h-al/al|Technical Alert Workbench]] (accessible from Your Dashboard).

-You'll find the Technical Alert Workbench very similar to our Advanced Scan Workbench. It consists of 3 primary areas: the Alert Control, the Alert Criteria, and the Alert Builder. Once you've created and saved your new alert, you can view and manage it from the [[https://stockcharts.com/h-mem/useralertsummary.html|Alert Center]] page (also accessible from Your Dashboard).

 From the Technical Alert Workbench, you can create two types of alerts: **Price Alerts**, which notify you when the price of a stock or fund crosses above or below a specific level, and **Advanced Alerts**, which allow you to specify your own specific technical parameters and receive notifications whenever that criteria is triggered by a stock or fund in our database.

 ===== Predefined Technical Alerts =====

Checking the predefined alerts for important technical developments is a great way to find new opportunities for your next move. This is also a great place to start if you're new to technical scanning. You'll find some powerful signals in our predefined alerts.
