Why it fired

Bought on 11 August, disclosed on 21 August. The alert states the ten-day gap outright, because the price you see is not the price they paid.

Reporting lag, of the 45-day limit 10 days

A past alert, rebuilt in TickerRoom's own components to show the format — illustrative, not live market data. The delayed feed shows real ones, 15 minutes after they fire.
