I prefer to stay with an email if there is a possible trade. If
for some reason an email goes out stating there will be "no trade"
and then that changes for some odd reason then all the complaints
will bombard this board. If someone wants additional info on
possible non-trade days, then they should just check this SPY blog
near the end of the day and/or "cut & paste" the 1min SPY chart
with the yellow zone to their smart phone. With the 1min SPY chart
you can check it very, very easily throughout the day.
stevedfw - To be clear, the 1 min chart is only valid on the day
that Matt updates it. On these days we'll
also receive an email/sms telling us to check the
blog.
Maybe I'm missing something simple, but what I see on the
Current Trade - Custom Alert tab may not be up to date. I
haven't heard that this is automatically refreshed by the
system. If this is so, great. If not, there is no
refresh button on the page. So the message could very well
not be current -- and this is not trivial information. A
browser refresh takes the user away from the Current Trade
page. Then, user must wait for the page to load, click Single
Entry tab, click Current Trade tab, just to see that nothing has
changed on the Custom Alert. I don't understand why others
find this exercise, especially if one is doing it multiple times in
expectation of a trade alert toward the market close. Please
tell me what to click, ONCE, to get the Current Trade message and
I'll be quite happy.
Also, I suggest that some contributors to this board give more
thought their civility. Hopefully, enough said.

You raise a point I have been wondering about. How to get
to the Current Trade message without so many "clicks" - maybe
someone else has figured a way.

ascr, correct. So if you see it is updated then there might be a trade that day. Pretty simple to monitor I think.
Not easy to see update of Current Trade - Custom Alert

Bluebird--
Thanks for your post. I was beginning to think I was alone with all this clicking to get a refresh.
