Create an alert for "When any SGB's discount to fair value is greater than 5%" with a 60-minute check interval. This helps you identify bonds trading at significant discounts, potentially offering better value than buying physical gold.
Scenario 2: Yield Maximizer
Set up an alert for "When any liquid SGB's yield to maturity is greater than 3.5%" to identify bonds offering exceptional returns compared to other fixed-income investments.
Scenario 3: Market Entry Strategist
Configure an alert for "When gold price is less than ₹60,000" to time your entries into the market during price dips.
