Global Alert, exception list

[stock777]

  Starting to recreate my QT setup under MT.  Slow going but I think it will be worth it.

 

  First suggestion, I set up a simple global 1% move alert.  Right away I get a notice for the NYSE-TICK symbol I have in one of the ports.

 

  Where a value fluctuates wildly all day, you wouldn't want a Global  alert to trigger. 

 

  So an 'exclude this symbol from future alerts'  on the popup would be a good thing to add.

if you close the popup but do not explicitly turn off the alert, it will not trigger again. Unless of course you set the alerts to clear after a certain period of time.  Also, you can set the alerts on portfolios vs global

 I set a global alert for 1% moves.  Obviously, I want that to reset so the next mover is seen.

 

 Symbols like the AD Line and Tick clutter the alert.

 

 Yes, I could separate them out, and then set up a Global per port, but why duplicate the global alert for every open port (5 in my case) when a simple ignore symbol filter could be implemented.  And if I open a new port, I have to recreate the alert for THAT  one.

 

 Just thought, if you don't want to do a symbol exclude for some reason,  maybe a portfolio exclude for Global  would work.

 Be nice to get a filter working. Should not be hard to implement an exclude list, possible on a per alert setting, so you can still have an alert for something like tick, but exclude it from the Global Mover alert.

I have it on my todo list, but have been busy with some other items.
