So today we're just going to be talking about our Xtrades app. So honestly, like this is the premier, you know, location for trading. This is kind of a new thing that even lots of Discord servers online are not anywhere close to in comparison to Xtrades, but you know that this app is actually has amazing utility, makes it really easy for you to enter and exit trades, alert, chat, plan things and post strategies and post updates about existing positions. So today we're just going to focus on how to make an alert on the Xtrades app. Now the online browser format looks very, very similar to the mobile app. So you can elect to do this on the mobile app or on the website, either one is fine. So you can see that I'm on the browser right here, I'm logged into my account. This is the main fee on the side, right? Main fee on the here on the left, you can see all of trading plans following everything that people post everything that's here, you can kind of find. So to create an alert here, what we're going to do is you're going to go to the left hand side of the browser, you're going to go to alerts, right? So alerts right here is a second. It's a little megaphone label alerts and click alerts. Here I'm going to see all the alerts that were opened to closed and et cetera, et cetera, and with a timestamp of when it happened. So mark close a little while ago so you can kind of see that all listed out there at the bottom right hand corner, you're going to see this little megaphone again, add or close alert, as well as up here at the top, there's a create alert button. Okay, on the mobile app, you can click either of these and that opens up a new window and this is where our order entry is. So if you're at an existing, you know, existing alert, there are some quick closes that can kind of allow you to exit your position quick, but for our purposes today, we're just going to go through each box here so that we can, you know, teach you guys how to make these alerts open for other people to follow. So I click this create alert window, right? So I click this alert, I'm going to first choose if I'm going to open a position, if I'm going to close my position, or we're short to open. Okay, so typically here I click buy if I've no position and I'm entering a long position, if I am existing in a long position and I want to close that long position, I will click sell. If I have no position and I'm looking to short and sell to open, I will click short. And then if I'm looking to cover as in I'm currently short contract and I'm going to buy it back to close my position, which is a buy to close, I will click cover. Okay, so if you're ever in doubt, you can always click buy and sell. The app and bot are pretty good at tracking this anyway. So as long as your direction is correct, that's mostly what matters. So let's just say right now, I'm going to just open the position, I'm going to click buy ticker here, let's look for spy. So it's S&P 500 auto populates the price, which is closing price of 450.5. What am I going to trade asset stock or options, if I'm looking for stock, this is the price. If I'm looking for options, I click options, and it opens up all these windows. So first we need the expiration date today is November 17. I'm just going to hop over 2023 quickly December 1. That's the Friday, tomorrow, zero day till expiry. That's the expiration strike and to go slightly out of the money. So the 451 call option, last traded price, right? The risk level, I'll say standard here, or high risk for zero day till expiry strategy, I don't have to leave this, right? I'm not going to add to this. This is the alert preview of what it's going to say. And then I click submit alert, and that opens up. So that's all there is to it, right? We click this position, set the direction, set your ticker, stock or options selection. If it options, then we've got to populate all these. Expiration, the strike and the direction. The price will auto populate. I tend to just leave this as it auto populates. But if you have a specific entry price, you can kind of set that price and then set a risk level or strategy if you so wish, all right? So that's all there is to it, mobile or browser app. That's how you start and open an entry on the Xtrades app. Thanks for tuning in.
