I don’t know if I have missed something, but I can’t find any option to make the notifications actually useful. The notifications are a silent popup, which is ok if you are clued to the screen (n.b. useful is bare minimum). Why is there no sound to notification, or any ability to set a notification if criteria is met (e.g. price crosses ema etc…)
