The problem it solves

Watching a stock price all day so you do not miss the right moment to buy or sell is exhausting and impossible to do while you are running your business. You want to know the instant the price crosses your threshold, not hours later when you happen to check your phone.

Who it fits

A business owner or investor who tracks a specific stock and wants to act quickly when the price hits a target.

How it works

  1. Every few minutes during market hours, the automation checks the current price of your chosen stock
  2. It compares the price against the low and high thresholds you set
  3. If the price is outside that range, it sends you an email alert right away
  4. You receive the alert in your Gmail inbox so you can act on it immediately
What you get

The moment a stock hits your target price

You get an email the instant your chosen stock moves outside the price range you set, checked automatically during market hours.

What you get

An email alert in your inbox whenever the stock price moves outside your chosen range.

What you need

A Gmail account and a subscription to a real-time stock price data service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
