Imagine this: you’re watching Reliance Industries, waiting for it to drop to ₹1,800 before buying. You check the stock price once or twice a day, but get busy with work. The next day, the stock briefly hits ₹1,800 — and then shoots up again. You missed the opportunity.

That’s where Price Alerts on Paytm Money come in.
With Price Alerts, you don’t need to constantly monitor the markets or worry about missing key moments. Simply set your target price, and we’ll notify you the moment your stock hits that level.
Whether you’re a long-term investor looking for the right entry point or an active trader who wants to time exits better, this feature can save you time, effort, and money.
What Are Price Alerts?
Price Alerts are personalized notifications that tell you when a stock or index reaches a price level you’ve chosen.
Think of them as an alarm set by you for your favourite stocks. You decide the price — and we do the watching.
When the market price hits your target, Paytm Money sends a push notification and an email to your registered account.
In short:
- You set a target price.
- We track the stock for you.
- You get notified instantly when it reaches that price.
It’s like having a personal market assistant who keeps an eye on your stocks 24/7.
Why Price Alerts Matter for Every Investor
The stock market moves fast. Prices can swing in minutes — and it’s not realistic to monitor every tick throughout the day.
For many investors, this means missing entry or exit opportunities. Maybe you wanted to buy TCS when it dipped to ₹3,500, or sell HDFC Bank when it rose above ₹1,800 — but life got in the way.
Price Alerts solve this problem by keeping you informed exactly when it matters.
Key Benefits of Price Alerts:
- Save Time
You don’t have to track price charts all day. Set an alert once and let the app do the work. - Reduce Missed Opportunities
Quickly know when your preferred stock reaches your desired level — whether it’s for buying or selling. - Trade with Confidence
Instead of reacting late, you can make timely, well-informed decisions. - Perfect for Manual Traders
If you prefer executing trades manually after confirmation, Price Alerts are the ideal middle ground.
Stay Updated Anytime, Anywhere
Even if you’re away from your desk, Paytm Money ensures you get both push and email notifications so you never miss an opportunity.
Setting up a Price Alert takes just a few seconds. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Open the Paytm Money app
Log in to your account and head to the stock you’re tracking. - Tap on ‘Add Price Alert’
You’ll find this option under the stock’s chart section. - Set Your Target Price
Enter the price level or change percentage at which you want to receive the alert — whether it’s for a potential buy or sell. - Confirm Your Alert
Once saved, Paytm Money keeps monitoring that stock for you in real time.
Receive Notifications
The moment your chosen price hits, you’ll receive both an email and a push notification instantly.
That’s it. No constant checking, no stress. Watch video for a detailed walkthrough.
How You Get Notified
When your Price Alert triggers, you’ll be notified in two ways:
- Push Notification on your mobile
- Email Alert sent to your registered email ID
This ensures that even if you miss one, you’ll still catch the other.
These alerts are designed to be timely and reliable, helping you act quickly on your next trading decision.
Price Alerts vs GTT Orders — What’s the Difference?
Price Alerts and GTT (Good Till Triggered) orders may sound similar, but they serve different purposes:
| Feature | Price Alert | GTT Order |
| Purpose | Notifies you when a stock hits your chosen price | Automatically executes your buy/sell order when target price is hit |
| Execution | Manual – you decide what to do after notification | Automatic – the system places your order |
| Best For | Investors who prefer manual decision-making | Traders who want auto-execution at preset prices |
So, if you want to stay informed but still control when to execute, Price Alerts are perfect for you.
If you want to automate your trades completely, you can explore GTT orders — also available on Paytm Money.
How Different Users Benefit from Price Alerts
For Beginners:
If you’re new to investing, Price Alerts help you learn how prices move without the stress of monitoring every tick. You can track how your favorite stocks behave and plan entries or exits more confidently.
For Long-term Investors:
If you’re waiting for the right price to enter a quality stock or book profits after a rally, Price Alerts ensure you act at the right time — not too early, not too late.
For Active Traders:
If you track multiple stocks daily, setting alerts saves you from screen fatigue. You can focus on research and execution while we handle the monitoring.
