What's New in 6.3

Cross-Device Alerts

Alerts on single symbols will be stored in the cloud and triggers will be pushed to any device you are using; other computers where you use Infront, iPhone, iPad or Android phones. Alerts on calendar events and news are still local to your computer, meaning they will only be triggered when you use Infront on that computer.

Cross-Device alerts can be placed from the instrument right click menu by following the "Alert me If" menu option.

All alerts will show up in the top right of your terminal as a notification icon. The number will indicate how many unread alerts you have.

Click on the alert icon to see the log. All messages will be marked as "read" automatically as you see them in the Alert Log.

The Alert Manager, allows you to manage all events which can trigger alerts.

By using AND and OR statement, you can combine the different criteria as a condition of the alert triggering.

Cross-Device Alerts Support on iPhone and iPad

Keep yourself updated by receiving alerts on the move. As long as you have not logged out of the Infront application on your mobile device, you will be able to both receive and place alerts on your iPhone and iPad. You will receive alerts if the device has been registered on your account. By logging in on Infront’s app the devices will be registered to your user account, and you can receive alert even when the app is not running. If you explicitly log out of the app, the device will no longer receive alerts.

Manage your alerts directly from your iPhone or iPad.

The easy to use interface, helps you stay in control of what's happening.

Another example, this time with Market Value is Adidas. Below, we are looking at the Market Value, with the target currency set to USD.
