Stock News Alerts for Incoming Headlines
Bring incoming symbol-specific stock news into your ChartsWatcher alert window. Connect a headline event with the chart, watchlist, and current market activity.
Understand the trigger
What is News?
The News alert triggers when incoming news is received for a stock symbol. Its purpose is to surface the arrival of new information alongside your other scanner events, rather than to interpret the news as positive or negative. The documented option is News, with no volume threshold required. An alert points you toward the item so you can read the actual content and review the associated symbol.
An illustrative example
News in practice
Suppose a new company announcement arrives for a symbol already in your review list. A news alert brings that arrival to attention even if you have not noticed a price move. Reading the headline and full item provides the subject and timing; the alert alone does not establish the significance of the announcement.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use ChartsWatcher to keep symbol-specific news close to the alert window and chart rather than handling market events in isolation. When a headline arrives, inspect the stock’s current chart and recent activity, or review which other alerts appeared around the same time. News-recency filters can help organize the broader list afterward.
ChartsWatcher brings your chosen alert types and filters into the same alert window. Add the data columns you want to see, then use the connected chart and news tools to explore a matching symbol.

A little more detail.
How do I add News in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create an alert window and choose News in its configuration. Select the available options that match your setup, then add filters to define which stocks can trigger it. Review matching alerts alongside a chart and the stock’s news.
What should I check before using this alert?
An incoming item is not a sentiment score or a forecast of market impact. Multiple headlines may concern the same development, and the content needs to be read in context.
From an idea to your own scan.
Use News with the other conditions that define your setup. Keep matching stocks, charts, and news together, with a configuration you can refine as you go.
