Abstract: In one embodiment, the instant invention includes a computer-implemented method having steps of: providing a plurality of pre-programmed components; receiving an alert strategy, representing a strategy diagram made on a computer screen from the plurality of provided pre-programmed components; validating the alert strategy, where the validation includes generating, real-time, a smart chart for the alert strategy; receiving a selection of at least one trading instrument for which the alert strategy to be executed; executing the alert strategy for the trading instrument based, at least in part, on one of: i) historical market data and/or ii) real-time market data, where the execution of the at least one alert strategy automatically reflected in the generated smart chart; and generating a buy/sell alert when the execution of the alert strategy meets a condition pre-determined by the alert strategy.
