HAMMER PRO™’s alert system is the program component that sits “behind the scenes” monitoring all data that comes in and checking it against the criteria that are entered by the user.
If the criteria is met (for example: “Alert me when {ticker} price hits daily high”, or “Alert me when {ticker} price moves up more than 3 points “), then the alert system will notify the user by using whatever the notification methods were entered for the particular alert.
