Check on the BEI Column on the pop up, and set the high and low boundaries for the alert
OR

In the pop-up, check on the BEI Column for the appropriate line item, and set the high and low boundaries for the alert
Enhancement #3
Enhanced the Spread and Butterfly Generators with an option to generate strategies by issue size
Traders can navigate to “Tools” – “Spread Generator” or “Butterfly Generator”. In the floating window, there is now an option to set a lower and/or upper limit for issue size. Once finished, traders can click “Populate Spreads” and the strategies will populate based on applied filters. Traders can send these strategies to an existing or new Sprd/Bfly tab by clicking the “Send” button.
