I tried the Ticker Alert window today for the first time, set to display Limit Alerts.
It's a great substitute for popup alerts, because I've never liked how the popup alert window interrupts whatever command you're in the middle of - you have to either close the popup alert window or restart your command. Also the popup window is too big to keep open all day.
The Ticker Alert window (with Limit Alerts) is small enough to keep open all day, and doesn't have to be acknowledged each time it triggers..... so, a great new feature, thanks!!
The Ticker Alert list would be a lot more informative though if there was the option to color the alerts, i.e. blue for global daily high price alerts and red for global daily low price alerts. And for Last price alerts, if it could say L-High or L-Low (or something similar), with option to color, instead of just saying Last, that would obviously be more informative. With those options in the Ticker Alert, I could do away with using popup alerts.
And speaking of global daily high/low alerts, eSignal's ability to color the price in the high or low column in quote lists is very useful. But it would be nice if, after using Reset for the global high or low alert, the colors in the quote list would also reset.
While I'm on the subject of Alerts, I'll repeat two requests I've made before to Ideas:
1. that the 'Current Last' Price reflect the premarket price so alerts can be set to trade the gaps (very important)
2. that the values set for high or low Last price alerts pop up in a small window when the cursor is placed over the little 'H' and 'L'
in the quote window Last column. This way one could readily see the set values without multiple clicks (to open and close the Edit/Delete Alert window).
I think these are features most traders would welcome and make use of? Or does anyone else have other ways to use alerts?

(damn, Ad-Watch blocks the pop-up spell checker. Is there a URL
associated with the spell checker I could tell Ad-Watch to ignore?
