| Quick Alerts |

#### Quick Alerts Quick alerts are a graphical method to quickly set or reset a high and/or low price alert on the symbol currently in a chart. In order to use quick alerts you must first enable them by selecting { Tools | Show Quick Alerts }. This will cause the green and red bells to be displayed in the lower right hand corner of every chart. When no alerts are set the bells will be a dimmer color. To set or change an alert, <left click> on one of the bells, green for a high alert or red for a low alert. When you do this successfully you will see a small gray box attached to the cursor. Move the cursor to the chart at a price level you want the alert to be set at, and press and hold the left mouse button. While you hold the button down you will see a yellow box follow the pointer, which displays the price. Move the mouse up or down to adjust the price, and release the button. The alert will now be set. To delete an alert, move pointer directly on the bell for the alert and hit the delete key. To reset an alert after it is triggered, simply move it to a new price point. When an alert is triggered, and sound will play once and if you also have the symbol in an open SLFMap, the cell for that symbol will be colored bright yellow if a high alert was triggered and dull yellow if a low alert was triggered, these cells will return to normal color on the next quote after you reset or delete the alert. You can specify the color for the High Alert Line, and the Low Alert Line, with the { Chart | Colors } dialog. The sounds that are played for the alert are specified in the file: .\config\sounds.cfg under the directory where SSChart is installed. Sound number 1 in this file is the high alert sound, and sound number 2 is the low alert sound. You can copy any *.wav file to the .\Sounds\ directory, and then edit sounds.cfg (use notepad) to name the new sound file to change the sounds. There are other warning sounds played by SSChart when data stops coming from a quote router connection, or the connection is lost. There is also a sound played when the market opens and closes if you are getting quotes at the time. (Hint: Search your computer for *.wav files)
