Transcript
- 00:03 Your watchlist and alerts, on Trading Desk's fictional demo portfolio.
- 00:07 The demo watches two names, each with your notes, and neither has a zone yet.
- 00:14 Edit fills the form; PG gets an entry zone from 160 to 172.
- 00:20 PG is at 169.80, inside the zone, so the list shows it in your zone.
- 00:29 Siemens is above its zone of 250 to 265, and the list says by how much.
- 00:35 Names in their zone come first.
- 00:37 Alert me in this zone turns PG's zone into one of your own alerts.
- 00:44 On Alerts, the zone alert now sits beside the demo's AAPL price alert.
- 00:50 Test shows the reading now: met, and nothing was sent.
- 00:54 Alerts are checked only while the desk's schedule is on; until then, nothing is checked.
- 01:00 Most of your own alerts sent a day caps how many go out: 5 here.
- 01:05 Beginner keeps three alerts of your own, one condition each; Pro has no limit.
- 01:10 An alert says what happened to a price; it never says what to do.
