xStation 5: Price alerts

In this lesson you will learn:

• The importance of being up-to-date with market moves
• Why it’s worth looking at relevant levels, not all the moves
• How to set a price alert on xStation 5

Setting price alerts on xStation 5 is very easy. You can add your first price alert simply by right-clicking anywhere on the chart and selecting ‘Price Alert’:

The Notifications window will appear.

Once you’ve opened the Notifications windows you can set a new alert by setting the Symbol of the instrument, desired price (BID or ASK) and a condition which must be fulfilled to activate your alert. You can also add a comment if you wish. Once you’ve configured, your alarm will appear on ‘List of price alerts’ at the top.

You can easily modify or remove the alert by double-clicking on the list of price alerts. You can also enable/disable all alerts without removing them.

Alerts assist in the effective management of positions and planning your trader’s workday.
