What are Conditional Alerts?
Deepvue’s conditional alerts are a game-changer for tracking stocks. Instead of just setting a basic price or trend line alert, you can add an extra condition to refine your strategy.
This means you’ll get notified only when both conditions are met, giving you more control and reducing unnecessary alerts.
Conditional alerts let you combine two factors, like:
- A trend line breakout only if volume spike is above average.
- A stock hitting a specific price and a large percentage gain.
- A price alert that triggers only if the price is above a certain percentage of a moving average.
By adding these extra conditions, you get more precise alerts that fit your trading strategy, helping you react to market moves more efficiently.

Why use Conditional Alerts?
Deepvue’s conditional alerts help traders cut through the noise and focus on high-quality setups. Instead of getting bombarded with alerts that may not be relevant, you can fine-tune them to match your specific trading strategy.

With Deepvue’s conditional alerts, you’re not just reacting to the market—you’re staying one step ahead by focusing on the setups that matter most.
How Conditional Alerts Target Winning Stocks
The best-performing stocks tend to share common characteristics, no matter the market cycle. Top traders study these traits to identify stocks with high potential for super-performance.
But instead of manually scanning for these setups, conditional alerts can automate the process—helping you catch breakout opportunities faster.
By analyzing past model book stocks—historically successful stocks that fit a winning blueprint—you can customize conditional alerts to spot similar setups. Here’s how:
- Price action alerts – Set alerts for breakouts above key resistance levels, or strong price moves into new highs with increased high volume.
- Volume-based conditions – Identify stocks experiencing unusual volume surges, a common sign of institutional buying.
- Moving average signals – Track stocks reclaiming key moving averages like the 50-day or 200-day, which often act as support or resistance.
- Relative strength indicators – Filter stocks with a high RS Rating, or other momentum indicators, to confirm strength.
By aligning conditional alerts with these proven characteristics, you’re letting data drive your trades instead of relying on gut feelings. This approach helps you focus on high-probability setups, improving both efficiency and accuracy in your stock selection.
Conditional Alerts Case Studies
With hundreds of criteria available, the possibilities for customizing conditional alerts are nearly endless. Traders can fine-tune alerts to match their personal strategies, whether they focus on breakouts, momentum shifts, or fundamental strength.
Here are a few case studies showing how conditional alerts can be used in real-world trading scenarios.
Price Through Pivot and Above Average Volume Run Rate
Scenario: A trader is looking for stocks that are about to break out of a consolidation pattern but wants confirmation before entering a trade.
Alert setup:
- Primary condition: Stock approaches a key resistance level (e.g., 52-week high or a trendline resistance).
- Secondary condition: Volume spikes above the average daily volume, signaling strong buying interest.
Result: The alert triggers only when both conditions are met, ensuring the trader gets notified at the perfect moment—just before a potential breakout.
New Weekly High and During Stage 2 Advance
Scenario: A trader wants to focus on when a stock closes at a new weekly high in a confirmed stage 2 uptrend.
Alert setup:
- Primary condition: The price closes at a new weekly high.
- Secondary condition: The stock is in a Stage 2 Uptrend.
Result: The alert only triggers when the stock is making new weekly highs within a strong uptrend, helping the trader focus on stocks with real momentum.
Buying the Dip With Confidence
Scenario: A trader wants to buy strong stocks on a pullback but only if there are signs of support and a move higher.
Alert setup:
- Primary condition: The price moves up above an inside day
- Secondary condition: The price moves up through a key moving average, (e.g., 21-day or 50-day).
Result: Instead of catching a falling knife, the trader waits for an optimal entry point, ensuring the stock bounces off support before entering a trade.

Conditional Alerts Key Takeaways to Focus on Strong Stocks
Conditional Alerts in Deepvue are advanced stock tracking tools that allow traders to set alerts based on two combined conditions. Unlike basic alerts (e.g., price hitting a level), these require both a primary and secondary condition to be met before triggering.
This dual-condition setup provides greater precision, reduces noise, and aligns notifications with a trader’s specific strategy.
