Abstract:
A system and method for generating alerts from exchange data and news data is disclosed, and includes an alert generator that further includes a processor coupled to a memory. The alert generator receives the exchange data and the news data. Alert generator software runs on the memory and processor, receives an alert profile, and compares the alert profile to the exchange data and the news data. An alert is created if the comparison indicates that a trigger has occurred. The alert includes information relating to the trigger, which may also include news stories relating to the trigger.
