If you trade at home, or in a small office (and you use a DDE based system such as Marketlink from Marketsource), you need to know when your stocks, shares and so on hit values that you are interested it. If you are not 100% on the ball you can miss these. If you're at the coffee machine or away from the PC, Alert Master can let you know when that item has moved to or has passed to your set limit. Knowing when your limits have been met can save, or make, you money. | ||
