I Want Alerts Based on Specific Parameters?

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a service or program that will alert me when my indicators meet specific parameters. For example, I want to receive an alert when both the D% and slowD% (both set at 3) stochastic indicators on a five minute chart is over 80 or below 20% on BTU today. I follow about 20 stocks on any given day looking for my set up and I am tired of constantly flipping through charts and missing opportunities. Any ideas? Thanks.

Certain charting platforms have a screener. Similar to a quote screen that you can insert your strategies, studies i.e. costum studies/code or if your using default indicatores like those you mentioned--along with the instruments that you want to follow.

You can also set them up with Alerts.

 

TradeStation has that type of screener(radarscreen). Im sure other platforms have something similar, but Im not familiar with them, maybe others can chime in.

I don't know of any charting software that cannot give alerts.

 

e.g. for MultiCharts

you can program/configure to do the following when a condition is met.:

(like the condition you described above.)

 

1. send you an email

2. make a sound or a voice (user configurable. e.g. "IBM is going up")

3. pop up a message window

4. change a bar color

5. draw an arrow at a specific place

6. write a text message on the chart

 

you can even get the program to send an order to your broker.

 

I believe NinjaTrader and many others can do the same.

Thanks Pappo and Tams. I use DAS Trader Pro. It's a complicated program and way over my head in many respects, but I use it because it is ultra-fast when executing market orders and the brokerage that supplies it let's me leverage 4 times even if my account balance is under $25,000. I like the way it's laid out, but I mainly wanted the buy and sell buttons when I signed up. Now I really want the alerts. I can only see a way to get price alerts using DAS Trader rather than parameter alerts. I will keep trying. Maybe some one else out there has experience with DAS Trader and knows how to set it up. Thanks again.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
