Heartbeat Alert
Hi, I am using some filters and the heart beat alert.
I want to see alerts every 2 min, so I enter 2 minutes in the box... In the details of the alert on your filters and definitions page, the heartbeat alert says you can enter "Other values are allowed. "
How come when I enter 2 mins (anything under 5 mins I enter) it does NOT change how often a stock alert is delivered...However if I enter anything OVER 5 mins it does...
Im confused becuase in your instructions you say "other values are allowed" but it seems that nothing less then 5 mins is allowed?
"By default the heartbeat alert occurs once every 5 minutes for each stock. Enter a larger number to see the alert less frequently. Enter 7.5, for example, to see approximately one alert per stock every 7 and one half minutes.
This filter is most precise when you use values like 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes, etc. Other values are allowed. On average the server will always deliver the correct number of alerts. But you get the smoothest stream of alerts when you use one of the values listed above.
