Sheets

The user can specify the "Proximity Alert Number of Ticks" for the driver that will cause the market to cross the Theo; the delta of the option is used to figure out if a movement in the driver price corresponding to the "Proximity Alert Number of Ticks" will result in a cross. This can be set via RightClick->Sheet Settings->Settings Window...->Alerts->"Proximity Alert Number of Ticks", and the colors can be set through "Proximity Buy Color" and "Proximity Sell Color" respectively.
