 To set alert settings for a symbol, following these steps.

  1. Select the symbol by clicking on it.
  2. Enter desired alert setting for it, and click the Apply button. For example, enter 104 as the High Alarm of Bid price for IBM (shown above), the alarm will go off when the BID price for IBM is greater than 104, similarly enter 102 or Low Alarm of BID price, the alarm will be triggered when BID price drops to below 102.
  3. If you are long (or short) on a stock, you can also input your Position on it, if you are short on it, enter the Position as a negative number. You can also enter the cost basis (per share price) on the stock, so QuoteJava can calculate the (unrealized) gain or loss (shown as negative gain).
  4. To clear all the settings, press the Clear button.
  5. To stop the realtime alert, click the Stop button, to restart it, click the Refresh button.
  6. To use WAV sound for alert (sound card required), check the Wav alert box; to show quotes in decimals, check the Decimal box.

 When stocks have reached their alert settings, either a beep or a Wav sound will be produced. The stocks that have generated alerts have a Bell icon left to their symbol. To see which values caused alert, click on the symbol, and the alarming values are shown in red. In the screen shot above, Last High and Volume have both reached alert setting.
