The  section of
this site is designed to alert you to customised movements on selected
stocks. When you have set an alert the system will automatically send you
an E mail when the stock moves in such a way as to trigger the alert.
This is an especially useful
service for investors who trade using limit orders, or who are looking to
set stop and trailing stop losses.

We then Click on save and the
following screen is displayed:
|
|
The E mail alert will now be
sent to the E mail specified when or if the price of Vodafone moves above
120p i.e. 121p or greater. This alert will stay in place until it is either
triggered by the stocks movement or it is edited/deleted by the user.
The E mail will default to be sent
to the original E mail address you registered with unless you change in the
‘E mail alerts Box’ (See above) to alternate E mail address and
press save. Please note that this does not alter the original E mail we
have on file, and any new address will only be used in conjunction with
this alert. It is worth noting that certain E mail providers will forward
on your E mail via SMS to you mobile phone.
When you return to the alerts page
it will show any alerts that have not been triggered until they are either
manually deleted or triggered.
