Turn Any Trading Idea into a Real-Time Stock Alert

From an idea to an alert condition

Start with a falsifiable market view rather than a vague request to find a winning stock. A thesis such as “energy shares may strengthen if oil breaks higher while momentum confirms” gives the strategy builder a relationship to encode. CommonQuant can choose relevant US equities or ETFs from its validated security universe, or a major supported crypto asset when the thesis calls for one. Unknown symbols are dropped rather than invented.

The generated strategy translates that view into explicit entry and exit rules. It can draw from exactly 20 supported indicators across momentum, trend, volatility, volume, and price channels. The set includes RSI, Stochastic, Williams %R, CCI, ROC, Momentum, MFI, EMA, SMA, MACD, ADX, ATR, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, OBV, VWAP, SuperTrend, Donchian Channels, Pivot Points, and Ichimoku Cloud.

This makes the alert inspectable. Instead of receiving an unexplained AI opinion, you can see the instruments, indicators, parameters, and conditions that define the signal. After generation, you can adjust indicator parameters and portfolio allocation before activating the strategy.

Monitoring from one minute to one week

CommonQuant evaluates live strategies across supported timeframes from 1 minute to 1 week: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 8h, 1d, and 1w. Intraday coverage varies by asset class. The selected timeframe should match the speed of the thesis. A fast momentum condition and a weekly trend filter answer different questions, even when they use the same ticker.

Continuous monitoring removes the need to keep a chart open and repeatedly check the same indicators. It does not remove judgment. A triggered condition says the strategy rule became true; it does not guarantee that the market will move as expected. Before acting, consider liquidity, spread, event risk, and whether the original thesis is still valid.

• Use shorter timeframes for conditions that genuinely depend on intraday movement.
• Use daily or weekly rules when the thesis is about a slower trend or fundamental catalyst.
• Keep exit conditions as explicit as entry conditions so the alert lifecycle is complete.

Alert channels and plan availability

Every plan includes the in-app signal inbox. The Free tier starts with 1,000 credits, refills 200 credits per month, and supports up to three signal subscriptions. It is a practical way to generate a small number of strategies and observe how their conditions behave without entering payment details.

Paid plans start at $9 per month. Starter adds email and Telegram alerts and includes monthly allowances of 10 SMS messages and 20 WhatsApp messages. Pro and Max increase subscriptions, model access, credits, and messaging allowances. SMS and WhatsApp are metered, so availability is not unlimited unless a plan explicitly says so. Plans can be changed or cancelled, and Starter includes a 14-day free trial.

How this differs from a basic price alert app

A basic price alert usually watches one comparison, such as a stock crossing $100. That can be useful, but it leaves the analysis outside the alert. A CommonQuant strategy can express a fuller condition using validated indicators and multiple instruments selected for the thesis. For example, the interesting event may be a momentum crossover, a volatility expansion, or price moving relative to a band rather than reaching an arbitrary round number.

The goal is not complexity for its own sake. A good custom alert is as simple as the thesis permits and specific enough to test. CommonQuant also provides a dedicated backtest view for users who want to examine a strategy against historical data themselves. Backtesting and live alerts are evidence tools, not promises about future performance.

A responsible alert workflow

Write down what would invalidate the idea before you activate it. Review the generated tickers and rules, remove any instrument you do not understand, choose a timeframe that matches the thesis, and decide which notification channels are appropriate. When an alert arrives, verify the context and place any trade through your own brokerage account only if it still fits your plan.

CommonQuant is a quantitative tool for alpha validation and does not provide financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The platform helps convert an idea into a condition you can monitor consistently; responsibility for the decision remains with you.
