There are separate alert windows for each situation listed below. The alert windows are set up similar to a spreadsheet with individual rows for the specific alert situation and columns. The columns list the name of the alert, the issue traded, applicable situation, such as a specific study criteria, or a pointer line penetration. In addition, preferences, such as session time, can be set so you can choose to have trades executed during night sessions.

If multiple alerts are triggered within a one-second time period, CQG will limit the number of market orders to be placed to ten, and remaining orders will be rejected.
