Stock trading is time-sensitive. A price alert needs to open the ticker page while the price is still relevant. An earnings notification needs to open the stock detail before the market moves. A portfolio rebalancing reminder needs to open the trade screen with the right positions. Deep links make every notification actionable by connecting it to the exact screen in the trading app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers deep linking patterns for stock trading and investment apps. For investment apps broadly, see deep links for investment and trading apps<\/a>. For product page deep links, see product page deep links: drive direct conversions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
