Account Alerts use conditions applied to accounts. Creating conditions for monitoring accounts could be used by someone monitoring multiple accounts for risk conditions. This link details writing formulas to filter a view to just those accounts that meet a particula condition. Those conditions can be converted to Alerts.
To create an Account Alert, click on "+Alert" in the Account Summary Graphic. The example that follows is creating an alert if the cash balance of the account drops below 0.
If there is not a current condition available then click "+Add new formula."
Enter a name for the formula (condition) and then in the Expression box enter "account." and a list of possible choices appears when the period is entered following account.
And then enter "<0". The final expression is "account.currentBalance<0".
Click Save.
The formula is now a Condition. You can have the Alert emailed to you and you can set the Alert to Liquidate positions and cancel working orders. Liquidating positions and cancelling orders requires a special enablement, please contact your broker.
Click Save.
A confirmation window opens providing more details.
