Plain-language meaning
Alert rules evaluate explicit conditions separately from external delivery status.
Where it appears #
Alert rules evaluate explicit conditions separately from external delivery status.
Step-by-step workflow #
1. Confirm exchange and instrument. 2. Select the intended period or scope. 3. Read the as-of time, unit and native currency. 4. Inspect available rows. 5. Open supporting evidence. 6. Treat missing inputs as unavailable. 7. Save or compare only like-for-like evidence.
Worked example #
Illustrative only: an illustrative above-100 rule can evaluate true at 101 while the destination reports failed delivery The example is not a live quote, forecast or expected result.
How to interpret the result #
Higher, lower, positive and negative values retain the definition of the displayed field and period. A genuine zero is evidence; unavailable is missing evidence. No single field determines whether an instrument is suitable.
Limitations and common mistakes #
Coverage, reporting periods, stale observations, corporate actions, methodology changes and small samples can limit comparison. Never combine unlike currencies, scales, sessions or instruments without an explicit compatible basis.
Market-specific differences #
Alert rules need Pro. Rules and saved screens are evaluated during the session on the stored delayed quote, falling back to the completed session only when that cannot move the baseline backwards; each channel delivers at most once per rule, listing, direction and session. Native currency, channel availability and communication rules vary.
