What an alert looks like
Why it fired
Posts arrive with the ticker already attached, so a raise priced 3.6% under the last close reaches you as a $BABA alert, not a headline you have to match up yourself.
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.
What puts a message in this channel
- A tracked squawk or breaking-news account posts
- Tickers gaining unusual traction in trading discussion
What to do with it
Treat it as a lead, not a signal. Confirm with /info and /relative-volume before acting.
