    SPY Trade Alert

    Matt, I suggest re-wording " SPY needs to close between  $134.20 and below $134.39 (see notes below) "

    to read:

    SPY needs to close above  $134.20 and below $134.39 (see notes below) 

    Definately easier to understand worded

    I don't mind it.  I am still leaning toward the text.

    It is still just the how does it morph from the pending trade to an official.  Two table, highlighted Yellow while pending and then removed when triggered.  Maybe a field for some title like "Position" and that would say either Pending or Confirmed?  I guess maybe I like the text, IDK.

    Tom.  There would be no need to change the table until the next trade notification is announced.  For instance, let's imagine this trade goes through today.  Tomorrow you could display the same table.  The only modification would be to remove the "NOTE".  Tomorrow this table would communicate the status of the "current trade".  When we get the notification to close the trade the table will change to reflect that.

    And obviously there would be no table when there's no pending or current trade.

    I would handle a 2nd entry of the Multi system by adding a Trade 2 table above the Trade 1 table.  Same format.  I can do some mock-ups of different examples if you guys are interested.

    I would have to say:

    I would have to say: SPY needs to close above $134.19 and below $134.40, not $134.20 and $134.39

    Price closes above $134.19, or between $134.20 and $134.39

    otherwise I'm not sending out another email, we get enough complaints/confusion as it is and I have to send another email later anyway

    With the table.  We truly have received feedback overload and frankly there is not much of a preference one way or the other - it seems to pretty much even out.  We will have to review and brainstorm what will work best in conjunction with IT and the back-end system and make the decision.  I have you past posts with tables and we will have to work through it.
