1. On the price chart, select a timeframe that is smaller than 1 day, such as 1 hour or 15 minutes. The price chart should now show 2 new vertical coloured bands that represent pre-market and post-market periods.

- insert a hotmail address (the hotmail app can detect incoming emails and trigger sound alerts on your smart device)
- don't use gmail address (the gmail app cant seem to achieve the same above)

Warnings/Disclaimers
We suspect the gmail hack works only for accounts identified as "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/". Alerts don't seem to trigger for accounts ending with ".../mail/u/0" or ".../mail/u/2" etc.
