Alerts

This tab contains information about created alerts. The alerts are intended for signaling about events in the market. Having created alerts, one may leave the monitor as the client terminal will automatically inform about the server event.

All alerts in this tab are represented as a table with the following fields:

• Symbol — symbol, whose data is used to check for the condition specified. If the "Time" parameter is selected as a condition, the symbol does not matter;
• Condition — condition under which the alert will trigger;
• Counter — the current amount of alert triggerings;
• Limit — maximum permissible amount of the alert triggerings;
• Timeout — the period of time between alert triggerings;
• Event — the action to be performed (an audio signal, a file executable in operational environment, or a message sent by email).

Context menu of this tab is used for managing alerts:

• Create — open the alert creation window. The same action can be performed by pressing the Insert key;
• Modify — modify a selected alert. The same action can be performed by a double click on the alert or by clicking on it and pressing the Enter key;
• Delete — delete a selected alert. The same action can be performed by pressing the Delete key;
• Enable On/Off — enable or disable a selected alert. When disabled, an alert is not deleted, but becomes inactive;
• Auto Arrange — when this option is enabled, the size of columns is selected automatically;
• Grid — show/hide grid to separate fields with alerts.

Creating and Modifying Alerts

To create or modify an alert the corresponding context menu command should be executed or the "Insert" or "Enter" key should be pressed. After that the following window will appear:

The window contains the following alert settings:

• Enable — enable alert triggering. If this option is not checked, other fields will be unavailable for editing;
• Action — action performed when an event happens: play a sound, run a file or send an e-mail via the internal mailing system.
• Symbol — symbol, whose prices will be used to check the condition. If the "Time" parameter is selected as a condition, the symbol does not matter;
• Condition — condition under which the alert will trigger:

• Bid < — if the Bid price goes lower than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Bid > — if the Bid price exceeds the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Ask < — if the Ask price goes lower than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Ask > — if the Ask price exceeds the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Last < — if the last price is lower than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Last > — if the last price is higher than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Volume < — if the volume is lower than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Volume > — if the volume is higher than the given value, the alert will trigger;
• Time = — when this time comes, the alert will trigger. The local computer time in HH:MM format (for example 15:00) should be indicated here;

• Value — value of price, volume or time, reaching which the alert will trigger;
• Source — the file to be executed when an alert triggers. If the alert is a sound, this must be a file in *.wav, *.mp3 or *.wma format. If this is an executable file, this must be *.exe, *.vbs or *.bat. If "E-mail" is selected, a window for creating a message template to be sent will appear. The message will be sent to the mailbox specified in terminal settings. A text of the message can be simply typed in this field in "message subject\n message text" format;
• Timeout — time between alert triggerings;
• Maximum iterations — maximum amount of times the alert repeats triggering.

The "Test" button allows to check the usability of the selected alert. For changes to come into effect, one must press the "OK" button.
