ALERTS

Alerts overview

On every stock you add to the AlertTAPE you can set two alerts : an alert when the price rises above a given value and an alert when the price drops below a certain value. To display an overview of all alerts that are set simply click on the "Dropdown" button on the right of your screen and select the "Alerts..." menuitem :



This table displays all stocks that are available. Stocks which have an alert set (up or down alert) will be marked with a small "Alert"-icon. Next to the current price the up alert and the down alert are displayed. Move the mouse over the alerts to see the difference (in %) between the alert and the current price. Click on the header buttons to sort the table.

Signaled Alerts

Alerts which were already signaled to the user are marked on a green background (the upper alert was reached) or on a red background (if the lower alert was reached). Move the mouse on the alert to see when the alert was generated.

Clearing alerts

To clear an alert, select one or more alerts in the table and click on the "Clear" button. The stock itself will not be deleted. If you want to remove all alerts that were set in the program click on the "Clear all"-button.

Alert history

Everytime an up or down alert is reached the program will write its date and time to a logfile on your disk. To display the contents of this logfile click on the "History..." button. Click here to see an example logfile : AlertTAPE History.TXT
