Hi Everyone,
I am a new user of NT and first I would like to say that some aspects of this software are amazing while other parts I probably don’t understand.
This is where I need help.
The way I work (And I personally know hundreds of people that works that way) is: I usually get on a daily basis a list of instruments (Stocks) that are likely to be a winners today if they are gone past a particular price, for example: if AKAM will go over the price of $39.31 today (Given the right market conditions) it will probably go much further up.
That list comes from a virtual trading room I am a member of and comes few hours before the trading day starts.
In order to trade on this, I need to do two things:
Quickly enter the list to a Market analyzer.
Set an alarm so it gives me a warning and attracts my attention, just before that price is reached.As for item 1, it is possible but difficult; entering a new stock directly in the Market analyzer is possible only if the stock is already in the search list on the Instrument Manager, if not you have to enter it there and get back to the Market analyzer to add it there.
Basically what I am after is the means to quickly create a new daily list of stocks I will be working on without the difficulties of having to go back and forth.
As for item 2, I search high and low but could not find a way to do this:
I tried to use the “price alert” field in two places:
In the Market analyzer, but there I could not find a way to change (edit) the field in order to enter the price that should set the alarm.
On the chart’ again using the “price alert” but there the alert is global and stays with the chart not the security.At this time I am lost for answer and need help – especially for item number 2 (Alert) this is a must in my case.
Thanks
