# Alerts Overview

The Alerts module allows you to set up automated alerts (email, SMS) when specific conditions are met for ticker symbols you’re tracking. For example, you can receive notifications when Microsoft (MSFT) stock falls below or rises above a value you define, when the company publishes filings, or when insiders make trades. These alerts help you stay on top of time-sensitive buying and selling opportunities, ensuring you never miss a critical market move.
