Alerts

Real-time stock alerts, while the move is still happening.

Dipfinding checks every US stock we quote — OTC, NASDAQ and NYSE — against four published thresholds, all session long. When one is crossed, the alert lands on your phone and in the live web feed about a minute (Basic and Pro; Free is 15 minutes behind) later, with the volume, the 52-week position and a plain-English line on what happened.

Channels

Four channels. Published thresholds.

Every alert names the rule it broke, so you always know why your phone buzzed. Follow one, follow all four, or turn any of them off.

GeneralFree
±10%

The widest net: any US stock that moves about 10% in either direction. It fires the most often of the four, which is why it is the channel to start with and the one to turn off first if your phone gets busy.

Anyone who wants to watch the whole market move, not just the names already on a list.

MomentumFree
+8%

Up about 8% with volume behind it — and, unlike a plain threshold, the move also has to be trending up, above the day's open, and confirmed over two consecutive checks. Warrants are skipped.

Traders who want to be looking at a name while it is still climbing, not after the candle closed.

Big SpikeBasic
+30%

A jump of roughly 30% inside about twenty minutes. These are the moves that make the day, and there are only a few dozen across the whole market on a normal session.

People who trade the day’s violent risers and need to know inside the move, not at the close.

Big DropBasic
−30%

A fall of roughly 30% inside about twenty minutes. This is the channel the product is named after: the alert lands while the drop is still happening, not in tomorrow's summary.

Dip buyers, and anyone holding a name that just fell off a cliff.

Pro retunes any of these — your own move size, liquidity floor and minimum share price — and adds up to five channels that are entirely yours. See Pro →

Anatomy of an alert

Everything you need to judge it, in one card.

This is a real alert from the public feed. Here is what each part of it means.

TRUGOLF HOLDINGS INC

Consumer Cyclical$1.25Vol 34.8M
52w low $0.7952w high $46.50

A real alert, 15 minutes behind the live feed — the same delay the free plan sees.

Symbol + channel
Which stock, and which line it crossed. The channel is the trigger — never a vague 'unusual activity' label.
The move
How far it moved, and over what window. This is a rolling intraday window carried on the alert itself, not a change against yesterday's close.
Volume
Today's volume against the stock's 20-day average. A 30% move on a tenth of its usual volume and one on forty times it are not the same event.
52-week range
Where the price sits between its 52-week low and high, so you can see instantly whether this is a collapse to new lows or a pullback inside a range.
Sector + price
The context you would otherwise go looking for — what the company does and what it now trades at.
Time
When the alert fired, in ET. Alerts run through the extended session, so plenty of them land before the opening bell.

Delivery

Two screens, one engine.

Push on iPhone

The channel is the notification title; the first line is what moved, the second is whether the volume was real.

Live web feed

The same alerts stream into the feed in your browser — no app needed to watch, one account for both.

4:00 AM – 8:00 PM ET

The whole extended session on US trading days, pre-market through after-hours. About a minute from move to notification.

Two honest limits. There are no quiet hours at any tier yet — alerts fire on the ET session clock with no timezone check, so a 4:00 AM ET alert reaches a US Pacific subscriber at 1:00 AM local. And a free account’s notifications are capped at roughly one every 15 minutes — a separate limit from the delay, even though the two numbers happen to match.

Freshness

What each plan actually receives.

Three things move independently: which channels you can see, how fast you see them, and how many notifications you get.

Questions

Before you turn them on.

How fast do alerts arrive?

About a minute from the move itself on Basic and Pro. The free plan sees the same alerts on a 15-minute delay.

Do I need the iPhone app?

For push notifications on your phone, yes. The live feed runs on the web and one account covers both.

Which stocks are covered?

Every US stock we quote we quote — OTC, NASDAQ and NYSE — checked against every channel you follow, through the whole extended session.

Can I change the thresholds?

On Pro. You can retune any built-in channel — move size, liquidity floor, minimum share price — and your version replaces ours for you, plus up to five channels of your own.

Start with the free channels.

General and Momentum, on a 15-minute delay, with no card. Upgrade when you want them the second they fire.
