How the Market Locked alert works
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.
