Methodology:
Alert Timing - Price and volume market data is checked every five minutes during market hours (9:45 AM – 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) Monday through Friday). Price movement alerts may be triggered at any point starting at 9:45 AM ET. Volume spike alerts may be triggered at any point starting at 11:00 am ET in order to avoid alerts being generated by market open volume anomalies that sometimes occur. The ETF Activity Alerts do not provide you with real time market data. There will be a delay between the real time market data and the transmission of the alert.
Price Movements – Every five minutes, starting at 9:45 AM each trading day, the current market price of your selected fund(s) will be compared to the fund’s prior day closing market prices. If that price exceeds the percent threshold that you selected as your trigger parameter, an alert will be generated and sent to you. Only one message will be generated per day for each fund/price threshold combination you establish.
Volume Spikes – At 11:00 AM ET each trading day, volume spike checks will begin and continue every five minutes thereafter. At each check, the intra-day volume up to that time will be compared to the 20-day moving average volume for that same time of day, and if it is greater than the percent threshold that you selected as your trigger parameter, an alert will be generated and sent to you. Only one message will be generated per day for each fund/volume spike threshold combination you establish.
