Announcing:  Expanded Alert Capabilities,  Watchlist Alerts  Information Button, Trade Function from Charts

We’ve increased Alert capabilities to give users more ability to identify trade entry, exit and management opportunities.  An Info button (i) is added to on the Alert Management Page to assist/guide users on the criteria offered.

Set Alerts by Watchlist as well as individual symbol.

Trade functionality is available from the Charts, streamlining the process when you have an existing trade or staged trade.  Where there are more than one position on the same symbol, you’ll be given the option of what action to take.


Increased Alert Functionality

Set Alerts by Watchlist

You are able to set Alerts on your Personal Watchlists .  There are 2 ways to do this:

1.   On the Watch Tab using the Alert Icon in the Icon bar
2.   The Alert Management Page, click “Watchlist”, then select from the drop-down which will automatically populate available lists to choose from.

Criteria available for single stock/etf symbols are available to set for an entire watchlist, include Real Time,  up to 6 month activation and the ability to add Notes.

Clicking the “Detail” button will display the symbols contained in the selected Watchlist

With the exception of Last Price, all  Methods are available for both individual alerts as well as Watchlist Alerts. 

Simple Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average
Bollinger Bands
Keltner Channels
6 Month Hi/Low
52 Week Hi/Low

As you see, SMA & EMA offer numerous time periods.   The shorter the time period, the more alerts you will receive – especially when set on Watchlists.

Note:  The Active Alert box on the left side of the Alert Management page will have ‘wl‘ indicated when the alert is on a Watchlist.

A Reminder on Alerts:

Alerts are RealTime if you have Streaming Quotes on the platform – OR – have a linked brokerage account that provides RealTime quotes to the platformAND – have logged into that account in the last 30 days.

Alerts on OTC stocks will be delayed

Make sure to enable “Push Notifications” on your computer as well as mobile devices (if you have the app downloaded). You do not have to be logged into the platform to receive alerts as long as you have these notices activated.


Information Button – Alert Management Page

An Information Button has been added to the Alert Management page.

Located next to the Method drop-down, (i) clicking on this button will display in-depth information on criteria available to set your alerts.


Trade from Charts (Live, Virtual, Manual or Staged Orders)

Submitting existing trades or staged orders is streamlined.

In the example chart above, there are two staged orders and a Live Trade.

Clicking “Trade“,  located above the stock chart , will display a menu of an existing trade(s) in the activated trade account.

Staged Orders, on the same symbol, will display regardless of the trade account activated.

Staged orders will be shown in bold/black.

Active trades, whether Live, Virtual or Manual will be shown lighter/blue.  

To the right is what displays after clicking “Trade”:
     1.  Open (Enter) the Bull Call Position
     2.  Open (Enter) the Straddle Position
    3.  Close the existing Active Trade (Manual, Virtual or Live)

The next action will take you to the Order Ticket to continue the trade process, as usual.
