Devices and methods for providing notifications

A method of providing alert notifications on a computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via an input module on the computing device, a first signal representing a command to set an alert condition associated with an identifier of a tradeable resource, the command to set the alert condition indicating a user-defined quantity associated with an account associated with the computing device, and, in response, generating the alert condition;
• transmitting, via a communications module, a second signal representing the alert condition to a monitoring system for setting up a targeted notification for the computing device;
• receiving, via the communications module, a third signal representing an asserted alert indicating that the alert condition is satisfied;
• determining whether the tradeable resource is held by the account associated with the computing device;
• and
• displaying on a display, based on the third signal representing the asserted alert and retrieving the user-defined quantity associated with the account, an alert notification providing access to buy and sell the tradeable resource if it is determined that the tradeable resource is held by the account and providing access to a buy option but not a sell option if it is determined that the tradeable resource is not held by the account, the alert notification including a field auto-populated with the user-defined quantity.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for providing alert notifications on a computing device, the instructions, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• receive, via an input module, a first signal representing a command to set an alert condition associated with an identifier of a tradeable resource, the command to set the alert condition indicating a user-defined quantity associated with an account associated with the computing device, and, in response, generate the alert condition;
• transmit, via a communication module, a second signal representing the alert condition to a monitoring system for setting up a targeted notification for the computing device;
• receive, via the communications module, a third signal representing an asserted alert indicating that the alert condition is satisfied;
• determine whether the tradeable resource is held by the account associated with the computing device;
• and
• display on a display, based on the third signal representing the asserted alert and retrieving the user-defined quantity associated with the account, an alert notification providing access to buy and sell the tradeable resource if it is determined that the tradeable resource is held by the account and providing access to a buy option but not a sell option if it is determined that the tradeable resource is not held by the account, the alert notification including a field auto-populated with the user-defined quantity.
