Notifications
Will I receive notifications outside of trading hours?
1. Customizable Settings:
Many investment apps allow users to customize their notification settings, including the ability to set preferences for receiving notifications during trading hours or specific timeframes.
2. Trading Hours Notifications:
By default, certain notifications, such as price alerts, market updates, or stock news, might be configured to be active during regular trading hours when the financial markets are open.
3. After-Hours Notifications (If Supported):
Some apps offer the flexibility for users to receive notifications after trading hours. This is particularly relevant for after-hours trading or for updates related to global markets operating in different time zones.
4. Time Zone Considerations:
Notifications might be based on the user's time zone. Ensure that your app is set to the correct time zone to align with your local trading hours.
5. Check App Settings:
Navigate to the app's settings or notification preferences to review and adjust the timeframes during which you wish to receive notifications.
6. Market-Specific Notifications:
Depending on the nature of the notification (e.g., earnings reports, dividends), some may be time-sensitive and might be received outside of regular trading hours.
7. Device-Level Settings:
Additionally, your device settings (iOS, Android, etc.) may also influence when notifications are delivered. Ensure that your device's notification settings align with your preferences.
8. Consideration for Global Markets:
If you're tracking international stocks or global markets, you may want to set notifications to consider different trading hours in various regions.
9. Test Notifications:
If the app provides a test or preview feature for notifications, use it to see when and how notifications are delivered.
Always refer to the specific app's documentation or help centre for detailed information on notification settings and whether you can control the timing of notifications, especially outside of regular trading hours.
