The Alert Manager window allows you to set alerts to trigger on many configurable values. There are four types of alerts: display a Popup message in X_RISK , send an email message, color-code the row header, or play a sound file. You can trigger one or more of these alert types when a threshold is surpassed.

In a X_TRADER ASP environment, Buy-Side administrators can only send instant messages to other Buy-Side administrators or to users (e.g., Direct Traders and TTORDs) with a trading relationship with a broker (e.g., clearing firm). Broker administrators can only send instant messages to other Broker administrators or to Buy-Side users trading with the brokerage firm’s exchange credentials.
