To set default above and below prices
To set a hit priceWhen creating price alerts, you are able to choose a hit price. A hit price is an indication that an alert should be triggered if the designated price occurs as a trade, bid, ask, or settlement. The default selection is all. In busy markets, you may want to restrict the hit price, so that the alert is triggered only if the contract has actually traded at that price.
57.Setting Alert ActionsAlerts can trigger four actions: Placing an order. Playing a sound. Displaying a chart, Time & Sales, or a trading application. Sending email. To set these actions, double-click the Actions, Above Actions, or Below Actions field. See Setting Alert Parameters for details about these fields. Place Orders This alert, when triggered, places a buy order for 10 CLEZ4 at market on account 070707:
You must be logged on to trade with an active trading account. If many alerts are triggered simultaneously, only the first five orders are placed. Trade system alerts do not include place order actions. Trading with alerts requires CQG’s Advanced Trading package. Sound
When this alert is triggered, the Windows Beep sound is played for 15 seconds: 
To silence sounds, select Silent from the sound type drop-down menu, Otherwise, choose Waveform or MIDI (two types of wave formats for sounds).

Time alerts do not include display actions. When this alert is triggered, an email is sent: 
Click Email Settings to set up email|topic=Defining Email Settings. Click Test to validate your settings. Note that most mobile carriers offer a way for you to receive text-only e-mails as text messages by entering the e-mail address associated with your mobile phone number. In this way, you can use e-mail to send alerts as text messages to your mobile. 58.Responding to Triggered AlertsOnce any alert is triggered, the trigger action occurs (order, sound, display, email) and a notification window is displayed. Notification Window The top pane of the notification window identifies the alert that is highlighted in the bottom history pane. When a new alert is triggered, it is automatically highlighted. The history identifies all of the triggered alerts that have occurred since that window was displayed. Click the Hide History button to remove that pane. You can move up and down the list using the mouse or keyboard. 
Depending on the alert parameters, you can respond to a notification in three ways: Click Silence = turns off the sound associated with the alert. Click Reset = reactivates the alert. Click the X button = closes the notification. Alerts cannot be reset if they meet the conditions of the alert at the time of reset. For example, the above and below price are reset if that price will not immediately result in a trigger. If a price cannot be reset at the current value, it appears gray. Place Orders If order confirmations are turned on in trading preferences, then you must confirm triggered orders before they are placed. If you have opted to receive fill reports on every fill, a fill report is displayed when the order is filled.

To dismiss windows one at a time, click that button. To close all triggered windows, click the ProductName|variable=ProductName icon on the toolbar, then click Acknowledge All.
