Create a New Alert or Top List Window

This is useful when you have received a collaboration link from a colleague or would like to use one of the collaboration links of a scan on our website.

Create a Multi-Strategy Window

The Collaborate Feature enables you to create Multi-Strategy Windows. A Multi-Strategy Window allows you to combine multiple independent Alert Windows into a single space-saving container window, each with its own unique alert and filter configurations.

To create a new Multi-Strategy Window, go to the Toolbar, open the New Tab, and select Multi-Strategy Window from the dropdown. This will open a blank window, into which you can now insert your individual Alert Windows.

To add new strategies to a Multi-Strategy Window, right-click into the Alert Window, you would like to add, and select Collaborate. Choose Copy All in the popup window. Next, right-click into the Multi-Strategy Window, select Strategies, New Strategy, and then Collaborate. Now, select Paste All. Your Alert Window will now be part of the Multi-Strategy Window. You can repeat this process to add further strategies.

Turn a Top List Window into an Alert Window

The Collaborate Feature enables you to turn a Top List Window into an Alert Window. This feature is particularly useful when you would like to backtest a strategy that includes the filters of a specific Top List Window. This way, you don’t need to add the filters one by one to an Alert Window, but can transfer the entire Top List to an Alert Window.

To turn a Top List into an Alert Window, right-click into the Top List Window and select Collaborate. Then choose Copy All. Thereafter, go to the Toolbar, open the New Tab, and select Alert Window. In the Alert Config Window, go to the top left-hand corner and double-click Start from Scratch, then hit OK. Ignore the error popup and select No. Thereafter, a new Alert Window with the Heartbeat as a placeholder will open up. Next, right-click into the Alert Window, select Collaborate and then Paste All. Thereafter, the Alert Window will contain all the filters of the Top List Window. Just right-click, select Configure and open the Summary Tab to see the new settings. Since the heartbeat is a default placeholder that just pings the server every couple of minutes to look for symbols satisfying the filters without the need for a specific event, you should go ahead and select an Alert, for example, a New High, for your new scan. To do so, right-click into the scan, select Configure, open the Search Tab and choose any Alert you would like.

Add Strategies to a Compare Count Window

The Collaborate Feature enables you to add two strategies to a Compare Count window. Typically, the Compare Count Window is used to visually compare a bullish against a bearish strategy. By default, it compares New Highs versus New Lows. It is a great visualization tool that can provide an indication of what the markets are up to. If you wish to compare one of your bullish and bearish strategies to one another, right-click into the Alert Window, you would like to add and select Collaborate. Choose Copy All in the popup window. Next, go to the Toolbar, open the New Tab, and select Compare Count Window. Now, select Collaborate in the Green Data field on the left-hand side to add a bullish strategy or in the Red Data field on the right-hand side to add a bearish strategy. Choose Paste All in the popup menu, then hit OK.

To add the second strategy, right-click into the Alert Window, that you would like to add and select Collaborate. Then select Copy All.

Now, right-click into the Compare Count Window and select Configure. Choose Collaborate in the Compare Count Config Window, then select, Paste All.
