Limits / Alerts

The Limits function of the TeleTrader WebStation allows you to react quickly to changes in the market. You will receive an e-mail alert when your self-defined price limit is reached.

E-mail notifications for custom watchlists and virtual portfolios (if activated) can also be changed or deleted here.

Note             The e-mail address for alerts is entered in the general settings of the TeleTrader WebStation (see Settings).

Create New Limit

▪       Click on the arrow button next to the symbol name  and select Add notification.

▪       Drag & Drop: Drag the symbol name to the Limits section and drop it there.

▪       Select one or more of the following options:

-       Upper limit: You will be notified when the price reaches the upper limit.

-       Lower limit: You will be notified when the price reaches the lower limit.

-       Percent change: You will be notified when the price changes by at least the given percentage in comparison to the previous day (positive or negative change).

-       Daily price message: You will receive a notification with the current quote at the same time each day.

▪       Enter any additional remarks if desired.

▪       As soon as one of the conditions is met, you will receive an e-mail alert. If you have entered more than one condition (for example upper limit & percent change), those conditions will be evaluated separately.

Editing and Activating / Deactivating Limits

▪       Click on the Limits section. You will now see an overview of all of your self-defined limits (including limits that you have created using the TeleTrader iPhone App).

▪       To edit a limit, click on the  button.

▪       In the Change Notification dialog you can adapt the selected limit, add remarks or activate/deactivate the limit with the option Active.

-       For watchlist and portfolio notifications, you can only adapt the time of the daily e-mail notification.

-       Limits that you have created using the TeleTrader iPhone App can only be activated / deactivated.

Note             Deactivated limits will be displayed in the overview in gray color.

Delete Limit

▪       Click on the limit's  button to delete it.
