Iphone & Apple Watch Users Can Now Have Free Custom Notifications Pushed To Them About Any Stock
Portfolio monitoring is now easier than ever. It can be done while waiting in line for coffee, in a cab on the way to work, jogging through the park, or even walking the dog. “Twenty years ago, if you wanted to start investing, you may have called a full-service broker who charged outrageous fees just to make a trade. Now, discount brokerages and do-it-yourself models allow regular people to make their own trades for a fraction of that cost – and user friendly investing apps allow anyone with Wi-Fi and a bank account to start investing”, says Hart Lambur, co-founder of Openfolio. Thanks to apps, everyone can be an investor—and they don’t have to modify their lifestyle to do it. As Raul Moreno, co-founder and CEO of iBillionaire, notes: “It’s not realistic for a financial advisor, retail investor, or anyone interested in the stock market to be glued to the television, computer, or terminal all day, watching stock prices and managing investments...Investing is an inherently fast-paced, on-the-go industry, rendering it an especially good fit for mobile technology.”
Telezio LLC’s EyeOnMyStocks is a free, push notification based iOS app that helps investors track their portfolio in a novel way. Users enter their tickers into the app and set high and low price thresholds. When a stock price crosses the threshold, the user receives a notification. These thresholds, updated in real time, eliminate the need to manually monitor price history to see whether or not a stock is climbing or falling. The focus of this app is to give traders the information they need to make an informed decision without having to actively monitor their portfolio—instead they can set it and forget it.
Users won’t be buying or selling stocks on this app, but they will get essential information as it becomes available.
The app includes free news pushes which notify the user of important developments or news items concerning their specifics stocks. For example, app users are notified if an earnings release is upcoming, or the stock gets upgraded or downgraded by analysts, as events like these can immediately affect a stock’s value.
When you'll actually receive these updates is based on the settings that you choose. The app is almost completely dependent on the information entered by the user; the user chooses the information that they’d like to receive and when they’d like to receive it. Users choose to receive price updates when the market opens or closes, or they can set a custom time, say 3:00pm every day. High value news will be sent out as it becomes available.
With EyeOnMyStocks on Apple Watch, the app will send notifications directly to your watch. Just like on the iPhone app, it stays out of the user’s way until thresholds are met, or until an event of high importance occurs-- it’s a pretty non-invasive way to keep track of stocks.
This app can be downloaded for free from the app store here with no registration required and there are absolutely no in app purchases.
Monitoring your portfolio on-the-go is arguably a necessity for today’s modern investors. Mobile investment apps are quite possibly a decided advantage of millennials over older generations of investors. Push notifications from EyeOnMyStocks send the user only the information that they ask for allows them to step away from that computer screen EyeOnMyStocks gives users the tools that they need in order to make an informed investment decision while eliminating the task of constant ticker checking. Whether novice or expert investor, if you own an iPhone, iPod Touch, and/or Apple Watch and would like to step away from your computer screen, you’ll find EyeOnMyStocks to be extremely valuable.
