Comments:
Alerts are ideally suited to be used with the automatic price retrieval from the internet. (Of course, alerts will work with any method of updating prices.) After a price retrieval it is possible to have multiple price alerts triggered. The e-mail message and display popup window will contain data on all the triggered alerts.
For the daily portfolio price(s) alert only the e-mail alert options are used. You can enable/disable the daily portfolio price(s) alert feature and specify the time of day it should be performed under the Preferences - Other Dialog.
