Price alerts are the most common alert type. They fire when an instrument's price crosses a threshold or moves beyond a percentage range within a session.
Price level alerts
A price level alert triggers when the instrument's price crosses above or below a specific value.
One-directional: ABOVE / BELOW
Set a condition like AAPL price ABOVE 210 to fire whenever AAPL's last price is above $210. With a 1-hour cooldown, this fires once per hour while the price remains above $210.
Crossing: CROSSES ABOVE / CROSSES BELOW
AAPL price CROSSES ABOVE 200 fires exactly once when the price transitions from below $200 to above $200. It will not re-fire until the price drops back below $200 and crosses up again.
Crossing vs. level
Use CROSSES conditions for breakout alerts — they are much quieter than level conditions. Use ABOVE/BELOW with a cooldown for range monitoring (e.g. alert me every 2 hours while TSLA is below $150).
Percent move alerts
Percent move alerts trigger when an instrument moves more than a specified percentage within a time window.
Session move
NVDA moves MORE THAN 5% TODAYFires when NVDA's intraday change (vs. prior close) exceeds ±5% on any given trading day. The direction can be specified: NVDA moves MORE THAN 5% DOWN TODAY fires only on a 5%+ decline.
Intraday window
SPY moves MORE THAN 2% IN 1HFires when SPY moves more than 2% in any rolling 1-hour window. This is useful for detecting unusual intraday volatility that may not reach the full-session threshold.
Setting up a price alert from an instrument page
The fastest way to create a price alert:
Open any instrument page
Navigate to an instrument (e.g. search AAPL in the TopBar).
Click Set alert
Click the Set alert button in the instrument header. The rule builder opens pre-filled with the instrument.
Choose level or % move
Select Price level or % move. Enter your threshold value.
Set severity and save
Choose a severity and click Save. The rule is active immediately.
Price data source
Price alerts use EODHD intraday data polled every 60 seconds. Alert evaluation happens server-side — you do not need to have Worldview open in a browser for alerts to fire. Notifications are queued and delivered the next time you connect.
