## Short answer

Even if the conditions are met, your

may not be triggered if the tick is not captured. The system triggers an alert when a stock price reaches or crosses the set trigger price based on the ticks recorded or shown live. Since hundreds of transactions occur on the exchange every second, each represented by a tick, a tick can be missed. If the tick is missed, your alert may not be triggered and may remain pending until the stock price again reaches the trigger price.

## Example scenario

Assume the price of XYZ Ltd is ₹105, and you set your Arrow alert to be triggered when the stock reaches ₹100.

The stock momentarily reached the trigger price of ₹100, but the tick was not recorded in the system.

Since the tick was not recorded in the system, your alert was not triggered.
