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

  • Symbol — the security, data of which are used to check the condition. If the “Time=” (the alert triggers if this time comes) parameter was selected as a condition, the symbol does not matter;

  • Condition — condition, under which the alert must trigger. This condition can be:

    1. Bid> — the Bid price is above the preset value. If the current Bid price exceeds this value, the alert will trigger;

    2. Bid< — the Bid price is under the preset value. If the current Bid price goes lower than this value, the alert will trigger;

    3. Ask> — the Ask price is above the preset value. If the current Ask price exceeds this value, the alert will trigger;

    4. Ask< — the Ask price is under the preset value. If the current Ask price goes lower than this value, the alert will trigger;

    5. Time= — time quals to the preset value. When this time comes, the alert will trigger.

  • Limit — the amount of the alert iterations/the maximum permissible amount of alert iterations; time between iterations. Having triggered the preset amount of time, the alert will stop triggering.
