Stock Price Watch

Daily price check on a single stock ticker. Notifies the owner when the price crosses a buy or sell threshold.

What it does

Every day (default 09:00 server time — edit the schedule when you install), the monitor calls the stock-price tool with the configured ticker. Two arms then evaluate:

Buy alert — price ≤ $150 (default). Sends a notification with the current price, daily change, and a one-line summary.
Sell alert — price ≥ $250 (default). Same shape.

If neither threshold is hit, the else: arm matches and nothing fires (no notification noise on normal days).

Edit before installing

In monitor.iml:

check.args.symbols — change AAPL to your ticker (any Yahoo Finance symbol).
when[0].condition and when[1].condition — set your buy and sell prices.
Subject/body strings are templated with the captured bindings; edit to taste.

Reference the same ticker symbol in check.prices.<TICKER>.price inside the condition — the stock-price tool keys its prices map by symbol.

Bindings used

{{check.prices.<TICKER>.price}} — current trade price (number).
{{check.prices.<TICKER>.changePercent}} — today's change as a percentage (number).
{{check.summary}} — human-readable one-line summary of all queried symbols.
{{monitor.name}} / {{monitor.firedAt}} — monitor identity + fire timestamp.

Tool used

stock-price — hub-installed IML tool that queries Yahoo Finance with no API key. Comma-separated symbols lets you watch many tickers in one call; expand the condition to {{check.prices.MSFT.price}} <= 300 || {{check.prices.NVDA.price}} >= 1000 or use the stocks-portfolio-watch monitor for the per-ticker for_each pattern.
