 Hey guys, this is Hydra from Xtraits and in this video We're gonna go over how to create an options alert or stock alert using the Xtraits app So I'm currently on the web browser And I on app if you click on app.extraits.net You will yeah, you'll be on this website and From there you can log in and then you'll have access to this platform So on the left here, we have a bunch of different options. So To create an option alerts, we're gonna go hit alert and then Let me click out of it and then Yeah, so we're in alerts now and here you can see all the alerts that have been made recently and If you follow some people Then you can see what alerts they have been Posting so it's basically like Twitter-ish where you can see what the people you follow have been posting While largely have been posting and then yeah, this is how the UI looks really clean UI great job to the developer team But yeah anyway This is the alerts page overview and then here you there's a bunch of filters here you filter by stock or options filter by time and You can also see the results. So these are the past couple trades. These are the actual trades themselves The ticker symbol the time How long ago happened your closed and then the result and the type of trade? So yeah, that's pretty much it and now we're gonna go into how to actually create the alert itself So we're gonna click create alert at the top here. Very simple. So you got three options here. So Well, we'll take a look at entry first. So this is very simple You just enter whatever this thing asked you for right? So if you want to buy or sell or short or cover so you got four options there And then you put the ticker symbol. So let's say Right and if it's a stock trade then you want to click on stock. It's an option play you want to click on options So let's do stock first So for stock, let's you just put the price that you want to or you bought the stock at So if I bought it out to 15 then I'm gonna put it there and then risk level Is it high risk? Is it a Lotto, so this is a basically a lottery. So very very high risk This is like high risk in general and then standard is just a yes standard risk and then Strategy got day trades weighing in long term And then you also have this thing where This will notify the people that or this will notify when you post your alert that you are potentially looking to add to your position So that way people know and they don't go all in But yeah, this is pretty much how you set up a stock alert and the same exact thing for options So refer if you want to do options click on options expiration date It gives you calendar option and then you just choose Yeah, your expiration date and then strike I think yeah, you got to choose an expiration date first So let's do that Strike now you can choose the strike and then if it's a color put and then the price of the Contract that I paid for and then again Risk level and then strategy. This is optional But yeah, again, they trade swing and long term and then I want to this position again so type entry is Another way you can send alerts So take a look at the example here, right? It's the same exact thing So if you want to buy or if you want to do an options trade then you do BTO That means buy to open and then let's do Apple and then let's put in a date So let's do three And then at Zero point oh, it's strike price. Yes strike price 140 C So 140 C the C stands for call. So if it's a put then you just do 140 P It's that simple and then add and then you just put the price So I bought this for 45 cents. That's what I'm saying here So again BTO means buy to open and then the ticker symbol and then the expiration date And then the strike price and then what you paid for so yeah, it's that simple and then not for stocks It's the same thing, but it's even simpler is to So BTO buy to open Apple and at this price And then if you want to sell then you do STC, which means sell to close Apple 171.2 Right, so it's that simple and then if you want to short then you do sell to open Which is shorting basically and then when you want to cover you do buy to close But yeah, those are the four options. So I get buy to close buy to open So to close so to open those are the four options and then again you just put the ticker symbol and then the expiration date and then strike price and then color put and then The actual price But yeah, it's that simple.
