Question:

How do I setup alarms/alerts for technical indicators?

  Answer

Question:

Is there a one-step way to shutoff all the alarms I have set or more specifically to put them "on hold" and then to be able to reactivate them all later?

  Answer

Question:

The Volume Surge setting in the Alarm Preferences (Special) dialog box allows one to specify “’x’ times average”.  Does this mean the alarm will occur when volume today is “x” times the average daily volume over period “y”?  If so, what is “y”?  If not, what does it mean?    Answer

Question:

How does the Price Move alarm work?  Does it mean that the price is either up or down “x” points from the prior day’s close, from the prior tick, or for some other price?    Answer

Question:

How can I create custom price alerts for multiple symbols, without having to keep a chart open for each symbol?    Answer
