bbruin: from our Tech Dept.:
"It's certainly possible. These alerts are a lot different than most of our alerts. They don't go off unless QQQQ or SPY cooperate. And those two are often quite similar. So, where most alerts are much easier to set off, and at least one stock will typically set them off, these are much more particular.
As for today, I took a close look. QQQQ is any easy one. The first candle doesn't look at all like the icon or the description in help.
SPY was a little trickier. The first candle this morning was too small to qualify as a power bar.
He will see some examples from a few days ago if he pulls up history. I was expecting this type of comment, so I waited for a day when we got a lot of alerts before announcing these alerts to the general public.
If he wants something similar but with looser restrictions, he can look at the 5 minute opening range break alerts."
