# Alerts and watchlists

> Follow sources, save stocks, set alerts, and use Ask.

## Follow sources

Press **Follow** on a fund, insider, influencer, member of Congress or official, while signed in. Congress and White House follows never count toward the Free follow limit.

## Save stocks

Press **Save stock** on a stock page. Your list is under **Watchlist**, with tabs for **My stocks**, **Smart money** and **Portfolio**.

## Alerts

Open **Alerts**. It has 4 sections: **Activity**, **Sources**, **Prices** and **Delivery**.

**Source alerts** fire when something happens at a source you follow. For example:

* Multiple sources line up on one stock. You choose the minimum number of sources.
* Someone you follow buys, sells or makes a move.
* A holder sells a stock you follow.

**Price alerts** watch one of these on a stock, going above or below a level you set: price, P/E ratio, forward P/E, market cap, daily change in percent, or EPS.

Create one from **Create alert**, from the bell on a watchlist row, or from an answer in Ask.

Alerts on insider buys skip scheduled and private-deal trades. See [Insider trades](https://docs.alphayou.net/research/insider-trades.md).

## Delivery

* **Email** and **In-app** can each be switched on or off. In-app alerts continue when email is off.
* **Once a day** sends one combined digest. **Right away** is on paid plans.
* A **Monday review** is a weekly email you can switch on.
* You can pause alerts for a week or a month.
* You can also get an alert when your stocks report earnings.

Free and Pro have different limits on saved stocks, active alerts and follows. If you go over your limit, the extra alerts pause and your oldest ones keep running. See [Plans and pricing](https://docs.alphayou.net/plans.md).

## Ask

**Ask** answers questions about stocks, crypto, commodities, markets, smart money and top traders, using AlphaYou's data.

* Try "Ask about a stock or what changed", or pick a prompt.
* Ask shows what the data says. It does not tell you what to do, and every answer ends "Not a recommendation."
* There is a daily and a monthly limit, and both reset on UTC time. The limits depend on your plan.
* Your Ask chats are kept in your browser, not on your account.
