So far I'm setting it up for a whole variety of alarms I typically want, since doing it this way gives me much greater flexibility than using the basic Alerts feature of SC. Normally you can have an alert on things like Order Filled, Stop hit, Target hit, etc. Trouble is, you will get the "Order Filled" alert on ALL orders, when what I wanted was entries only. I also wanted a profitable stop being hit, to be considered a "target hit" and only a true losing stop-loss being considered a "stop hit". With a Spreadsheet System, I can do all of this and so much more. Combined with using free software to create spoken-word alerts for just about everything I want to keep track of, I've got a great setup that essentially talks to me to tell me everything that's happening at all times. I'm really happy with what the Spreadsheet System can do even outside of automated trading!
