Understanding the Market Locked Alert

The market locked alert occurs whenever the bid and ask for a stock are at exactly the same price. Like a market cross, a market lock typically shows when a stock is especially volatile. These alerts are automatically filtered similar to the market crossed alerts. If this condition occurs several times in a row, you will only see one alert.

Default Settings

By default, the market locked alert will appear when the bid and the ask for a stock are at the same price.
