Adding Alert Sensitivity to Price Channels

In this week’s Strategy Guide blog post, we revisit the brand new “Alert Sensitivity” feature that was introduced last week. Users now have the ability to trade price channels without having to stare at the screen and worry about missing the top or bottom by a few cents. This feature allows the ability to increase or decrease the area in which traders want to be alerted about price action. Make sure to check out the video and graphics to get a full understanding of how this works.

You can also visit the two blog posts below to find out more information about price channels and “Alert Sensitivity”:

Setting the Alert

These images capture the difference between setting alert sensitivity between high and low. To get a full understanding of how this works, please see the video above!

High Sensitivity

When choosing alert sensitivity in TrendSpider, the further left you go, the higher the sensitivity will be on the alert (i.e. less room for error).

Low Sensitivity

When choosing alert sensitivity in TrendSpider, the further right you go, the lower the sensitivity will be on the alert (i.e. more room for error).
