Price ladder alerts and workspace monitoring
Set tick-aligned crossing alerts, repeat them on recross and choose the data sources you hear.
Select monitoring sources
Monitor all workspaces follows available workspace feeds; alternatively choose specific sources. Monitoring does not subscribe an unconnected instrument automatically. The Ladder workspace selector chooses which feed and contract the Squawk ladder displays. Check its symbol before adding an alert.
Add a price alert
Select the alert checkbox on a ladder row or enter an Alert price and choose Add. Entered prices round to the contract tick. The alert belongs to that workspace and contract. The ladder shows captured execution volume, not a complete historical session. Center returns its visible rows to the current price.
Crossing and repeating
An alert fires when a subsequent trade moves through its level; the first observed trade primes the comparison. Once alerts fire once within the current monitoring run. Repeat new alerts on recross applies to alerts created afterward and allows later crossings. Removing an alert deletes the level. Restarting audio resets the firing state, so a saved Once alert can fire again in a new run.
Display and feedback
Row height and text size change ladder readability. Price alerts generate audio and appear in the listening log while audio is active. They never create, amend or cancel an order. Clear statistics clears the visible log and captured engine statistics; it does not cancel working orders.
