1. Implied Volatility isn't a property applicable to options underlying, the closest match is the historical volatility. To find stocks with high historical volatility there are two alternatives:
- Create a new Watchlist, add the stocks you wish to check for high volatility (using IB it may require a few minutes to complete download of historical data), add the Historical Volatility indicator, order the watchlist grid by that indicator column;
- Create a new Condition in EasyScript Editor which can be used to identify high volatility stocks, then create a new Asset Scanner from the beeTrader main menu, add the Condition you just created, add the stocks you wish to check for high volatility, and click on Calculate. Look at the rows which have a "YES" result.

2. You can create alerts on each of the strategies included in the portfolio, using the Planning section.
