At BlackBoxStocks, we understand the importance of staying informed about market movements and relevant trading opportunities. That's why we've designed the Alert Stream and Alert Log features to help you stay on top of the latest market activity. These powerful tools provide real-time alerts on various stocks and options, enabling you to quickly identify potential trades and make well-informed decisions.
¶ Alert Stream:
The Alert Stream is a real-time feed of market activity, providing you with a constant stream of information on stocks and options that meet specific criteria. Our algorithm-based system filters through thousands of stocks and options contracts, highlighting those with unusual volume, price spikes, rapid declines, and more. This allows you to focus on the most promising trading opportunities as they emerge.
¶ Features of the Alert Stream include:

Dark Pool Prints/Blocks - This filter will include Dark Pool trades in the Alert Stream and give you a pop-up notification when a dark pool trade is reported by the BlackBox system.
Phantom Prints - These unique dark pool prints are like leprechauns. They are rarely seen but they are trades executed at a price outside of the trading price range for the last 24 hours. They are most often seen on the SPY and QQQ. Historically, when we have seen the price action gravitate towards the phantom print price level so all of our Team Traders keep an eye out for these little gems.

Insider - This filter will include Insider Buying data in the Alert Stream and send you a pop-up notification.
Orb - This filter will show you when a stock breaks above or below the Opening Range Breakout timeframe you have selected when you added the BBS ORB study to your charts and send you a pop-up notification.

Use the 'Date Range' option to select historical data such as historical dark pool data. Check the 'Date Range' box, then select a 'Start' date and an 'End' date, then hit 'Set Filters'.
