Alerts tailored to you

While Tendrill automatically monitors your portfolio, you can also set up custom alerts for specific conditions you care about. Whether it’s a price target, news about a particular stock, or a regular check-in, Smart Alerts keep you informed on your terms.
Set it and forget it. Create an alert once, and Tendrill will monitor 24/7 until your condition is met.

Smart alert suggestions

Tendrill may proactively suggest alerts based on your portfolio:
Tendrill - Thu 9:15 AM Alert suggestion Your NVDA position is up 85% and is now 34% of your portfolio. Want me to alert you if NVDA drops 10% from here? That would protect against giving back $4,450 of your gains. Reply “yes” to set this alert, or “no thanks” to dismiss.

Best practices

Set meaningful levels

Choose price points that would actually prompt you to act, not arbitrary numbers

Don't over-alert

Too many alerts leads to alert fatigue. Focus on what truly matters

Use percentage alerts for volatile stocks

Exact prices matter less for stocks that swing 5% daily

Combine with research

Set alerts, but also ask Tendrill for context when they trigger
