Updating Web Browser Settings

Overview

TradingHours.com can show desktop alerts and play a bell sound when markets open or close. While these are useful features, they are not for everyone.

Web browsers sometimes block these features automatically, especially if the webpage is in the background and not actively being used. This can be frustrating for users who like to keep TradingHours.com open to check market status but find their browser blocking notifications or alert sounds.

How to Turn Notifications On/Off?

The first time an alert is triggered, your browser will ask whether to allow TradingHours.com to show notifications. You can choose to block or allow notifications, and this decision will not affect other site features.

If you want to change your choice later, you can update notification settings in your browser. Links to browser-specific instructions are provided below.

How to Turn Sound On/Off?

Sound notifications are turned off by default. You can enable them by creating a free account and toggling the sound option in your settings.

However, web browsers may still block sounds that play automatically. To ensure sounds from TradingHours.com are not blocked, follow the instructions below to allow auto-play sound.
