Alert & Conditional Order Notifications

The Alert and Conditional Order Notifications tell the software what to do when your alert or conditional order conditions are met. Setting up notifications is a step in creating alerts and creating conditional orders.

Default Notification

The default notification is a System Beep, but you can change this:

Go to Settings in your main menu, then to the Trading tab and choosing the Notifications sub-tab.

You can also change the default notification from the Alert or Conditional Order creation window. Click Set Trigger Action and click Edit Default.

Choose any or all of Load Trade tool with symbol, Beep, or add a Custom Sound. To add the custom sound, click Browse to find the sound file on your computer (Edge comes with several choices). Click on the file and click Open to load the sound.
Once you've checked all the notification selections you want to apply to all your alerts or conditional orders, click Save.

One-Time Notification

If you want to stray from your default notification settings occasionally, you can do that, too.

When you are setting up the alert, choose Set Trigger Actions.
Chose One-Time Notification and select the notifications you want to receive for this particular alert or conditional order.
