Charting

If you’re a DIY investor, charting can be an essential trading tool, helping you to spot emerging trends as they happen. And, if you’re a CommSec client, you can access their online charting tools or even download end-of-day price data for free.

Share Alerts

Even the most dedicated DIY investor can’t watch the market every minute of the day, but CommSec ATC Share Alerts help you stay on top of market movements even when you’re away from your trading screen.

Sent straight to your mobile phone or email inbox, Share Alerts help keep you informed about your selected stocks or indices, wherever you happen to be. You can set a Price Alert to tell you instantly when a selected stock reaches a high or low trigger price, or use a Time Alert to monitor the price of a watchlist of stocks at selected times of the day. Then, when you’re ready to trade, CommSec is only a phone call or a few mouse clicks away. (A charge applies for share alerts).
