Alert Commenting
Some traders like to place notes inside of alerts to remind themselves why they exist, which strategy they belong to, or any other reason. Alert comments allow you to add these notes inside of any alert.
Any line start with a double forward slash (//) will be stripped out prior to ingestion at CrossTrade. This means that you can add as many comments as needed without affecting the execution of your alert messages. The use case here is allowing the ability for multiple different tools to interpret the alert message at the same time.
Example Payload
key=your-secret-key; command=PLACE; account=sim101; instrument=NQ 12-24; action=BUY; qty=1; order_type=MARKET; TIF=DAY; // This is a comment that provides additional context // Another comment line
