# Predefined Technical Alerts

The [Predefined Technical Alerts](https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/alertsummary.html) page shows when common indexes, sectors, commodities, and breadth indicators cross above or below various levels. 

You can access the Predefined Alerts page from the **Reports & More** area of the [Charts & Tools](https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/) page or the Y**our Alerts** area of [Your Dashboard](https://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet).

## Report Format <a href="#report_format" id="report_format"></a>

Two major sections in the Predefined Technical Alerts report are **Today's Alerts** and **Past Alerts**. Alerts triggered on the current trading day will appear in the **Today's Alerts area**, while past alerts are displayed in **Past Alerts area**.

&#x20;Alerts are updated every few minutes during the trading day. Bullish events have a green background, while bearish events have a red background.

The alert description and the time it was triggered (Eastern time) are displayed. If you click on the alert name you'll see a chart of the underlying symbol.
