I'd like to be able to set a simple price alert for stocks I'm watching. For example, when SPY hits $141, I'd like something to pop up letting me know that it happened. I've followed the instructions on this site and went through "columns", "last price" etc, etc, etc.... It works but I'm convinced I'm doing this the hard way because I can't imagine active traders are going through step after step, screen after screen to accomplish what usually takes 1 or 2 clicks on other platforms.
I'd really like to be able to right click on my chart, click "set alert here" and have it be done (or something like that). I've seen different 3rd party indicators that allow this but they all require that I stay on that chart for it to work. The whole point of setting the alert (for me) is so I can move on to look at other charts while I wait for prices to hit. Even if it can't be this simple, I'd like to just tell it the stock, tell it the price and be done. I need to be able to set the alert quickly and then move on.
Please tell me I'm missing something here. NT7 is a great platform, but if it makes my job more difficult than it was before I'll (unfortunately) have to look at other options.
Thanks in advance.
