Summary Window FR (Feature Request) #3

How about this? In addition to the scrolling alert window, have available, a window that accumulates triggered alerts. Its operation could be envisioned as follows:

First alert trigger of the day stock x appears at the top, first alert for stock y appears in the slot below it. A second alert triggers for stock x. Stock x display remains in its slot but the count (and other relevent data for stock x) gets updated only. This would continue for as many stocks and alerts such as would occur.

Advantages would be condensing the massive volume of alerts into a readily viewable form and be spared from the dilemna of enduring too many alerts flying by rather than risk omitting info as with count limits. Also, an item would stand still long enough to click on it correctly to bring up a chart, etc.

Additionally, it would be nice if column heading could be clicked on to put list in order, e.g. alphabetical name, counts, etc. To reiterate one of my previous suggestiona, a nice complement for trigger price field would be a percent (and/or) $ change from initial or last trigger (if/as appropriate for type of alert).

The little column mini-charts are cute but it is a little like trying to find your house on a map of the world. I wouldn't miss them if you needed to take them out to make room, though I suppose it's possible that someone somewhere might use them. The daily is really for what, one or two monthes. A condensed intra-day 1 or 5 minute increment chart might be more useful.

I haven't yet figured out how the horizontal age/range bar thingies could be useful for or what they actually purport to represent. <g>

Well, just some thoughts.
