Adding Global Alarms
As well as setting alarms for individual shares, alerts can also be set for groups
of shares. These are known as global alarms.
Global alarms can be added by selecting Edit : Intraday alarms : Edit global
alarms. A dialog box (below) will appear that allows you to set intraday global
alarms.
At the top of this menu, there is a Source option to choose the required data
source. You can choose between Shares (equities only), FTSE 100 (FTSE 100
only), or Other. Next to Other is a drop-down menu with a selection of other
groups (such as NASDAQ, FTSE 30 and Foreign Exchange). Another group
available is User portfolio (which can be found above All). This allows you to
set up global alarms on your own watch list of shares. Once you have selected
the source, you will need to set the alarm limits.
You can limit global alarms to those triggered within a certain time period by
ticking the Limit alarms to the last X minutes option and typing in the number
of minutes you require ShareScope Plus or Pro to check back.
There are five tabs in the Global Alarms dialog box that allow you to select
different types of alarms.
The five options for intraday alarms are: Percentages (mid price movements
over a specified period), Moving Average (dead/golden crosses over set
periods), MACD (checking for crosses), RSI (rise/drop over set levels) and
Stochastic (check for crosses and rise/drops over set levels). Underneath
each tab are the available options.
