Setting Order Alerts in an Alerts Window

Neovest lets you set alerts that will notify you once your orders reach certain statuses. For instance, you may establish custom order alerts to trigger once your orders become acknowledged, canceled, completed, held, rejected, and so on. If you have access to other traders' orders or their accounts, you may also set alerts on their orders.

As part of your ability to customize each order status alert, you may determine how the alert will appear and the severity of each alert notification. For example, you may decide in what type of alert popup your alerts will appear, whether the alert popup itself must be confirmed before it closes, whether or not the alert notification will continue flashing and in what color, and if the Alert Log window will appear once a particular alert is triggered.

The following instructions explain how you may access the "Order Alerts" tab in a Neovest Alerts window and set alerts that will notify you once your orders reach certain statuses:

Click the "Alerts" icon on Neovest's Launch Pad.

Once the Alerts window appears, click on the "Custom Alerts" tab.
