React fast to significant events
Alpha Terminal is designed to bring significant events to your attention instantaneously. Whether its Important events, breaking news or price movements Alpha has got you covered to make your work life easier.
EVENT FLAGS
Event flags appear next to a stock to tell you about important news. This might be breaking news, the stock going ex-dividend, dividend payments, reporting dates, bids, suspensions or triggered alarms. Flags can be configured to show forthcoming events as well. Flags will appear wherever you are looking at a stock - in a list, a portfolio or watchlist, on a chart or on the Level 2 screen.
Flags give you answers quickly - particularly helpful if you are on the phone to a client. Simply move your mouse cursor over a flag to reveal more detail. If it's a News flag, double click on it to open the latest unread news story. You can scroll back through earlier stories. Once you move your cursor away from a flag, the detail disappears.

And the expanded story with a single click:
"Clients frequently ask about ex-dividend dates, news, spreads, highs and lows and broker ratings. I really like the way that I can access most of this information just by moving the mouse over a price or a flag. With our previous system we had to go to different pages for this information."
