Oil markets move fast. Oil Prices Live sends you a push notification the moment WTI or Brent crosses a price level you set — so you can react to market moves without watching a screen all day.
Go to Alerts in the app, tap Add Alert, and select WTI or Brent. Choose whether you want notification when the price goes above or below your target, and enter the price. The alert runs in the background and fires immediately when the level is crossed.
You can have multiple alerts active simultaneously — for example, a Brent below-alert at $70 as a potential buying signal for energy stocks, and a WTI above-alert at $90 as a sell signal for fuel hedges.
Beyond crude oil, the app supports alerts for natural gas, gasoline, heating oil, and ethanol. Energy businesses tracking multiple inputs can set simultaneous alerts across multiple energy commodities.
Natural gas alerts are particularly useful heading into winter, when price volatility increases significantly and small price moves can have large cost implications for utilities, industrial users, and residential consumers.
Energy traders use alerts to monitor levels for entry and exit on futures or ETF positions. Oil field service companies monitor crude prices as a leading indicator for drilling activity and contract demand. Airlines and logistics businesses watch oil prices as inputs to their fuel cost modeling. Independent fuel retailers track crude to anticipate when to hedge forward fuel purchases.
Even consumers use the app to time large fuel purchases — filling up a tank or a heating oil storage tank when prices are at a favorable level.
Set your alert in any of the 28 supported currencies. A European energy trader can set a Brent alert in euros rather than dollars, directly reflecting the cost in their operating currency. The alert fires when the price in your selected currency crosses your target, accounting for both the crude price and the exchange rate.
This eliminates the need to mentally convert dollar-based alerts into local currency equivalents — the alert is directly actionable in the currency that matters to you.
