Short answer
Where does StockNotify market data come from?
StockNotify uses licensed exchange market-data feeds, quote services, instrument records, and historical candles to support price monitoring and charts for NSE and BSE instruments. Telegram and email services handle notification delivery separately. Instrument availability, a received price observation, and successful message delivery are different checks.
Confirm the exact symbol, exchange, and current quote before interpreting an alert. A chart's historical candle or a previously displayed value does not prove that the alert engine observed every move. StockNotify monitors saved conditions and does not place broker orders or guarantee the delivery of a notification.
How market data is used
StockNotify uses a licensed broker market-data feed and quote services for live NSE and BSE stock prices and alert evaluation. Instrument data supports symbol search, while historical candle APIs provide chart history. Check the exact symbol in the product to confirm availability.
Why might a chart, dashboard quote and broker price differ?
A chart candle summarizes an interval, while a quote is a price observation at a particular time. The dashboard may retain its last value when a refresh fails. These values can differ from a broker view with another update time. Compare the same instrument, exchange, session, and timestamp before reporting a discrepancy. Historical close data is not used as the starting observation for a new one-time crossing alert.
Does a threshold alert trigger if the price is already past the level?
A simple price alert looks for a crossing between valid observed prices. Crosses above requires a previous price below the threshold and a new price at or above it; crosses below requires the reverse. Creating an alert while price is already beyond the threshold does not trigger it immediately. A missing observation, data interruption or price move between observations can affect which crossings are detected. The alert completes after one trigger; notification delivery remains a separate dependency.
Why alerts can differ from execution platforms
StockNotify monitors live stock prices and sends notifications when your configured conditions are met. It does not place or manage broker orders. Use your broker's order controls for execution and treat a StockNotify alert as a prompt to review your own plan.
How users should treat alerts
A price alert should tell you that a condition may need review. Before acting, users should verify current market data, check order-book or broker information if relevant, and apply their own risk process.
- Do not treat alerts as buy or sell recommendations.
- Do not assume delivery is guaranteed in all network conditions.
- Verify important market data independently before decisions.
