stock777 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Setting an alert for say, 400 shares, and a 5 second timeout. Getting frequent periods where the alert should fire but doesn't. Looking right at t&s . Seems the trades are being missed for some reason. Seems random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Wondering, would too many quotes possibly cause this ? Any way for the scanner code to be bypassed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 alert is on the "LastVol" field in Symbol data - that does not get stored and alerts are not checked every tick, so they can be missed. may need to change that alert to look at historical data.

stock777 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Yeah, really. This was not even a high volume name, and it missed quite a few of the blocks as I was watching . Maybe something like X volume increase over the last X seconds would work better. I know you dont store previous volume. Not sure how you'd do this Edited October 21, 2019 by stock777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock777 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 And I've used it, not sure why I haven't been making more use of it . So many features, so little time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
