When using Alerts on TradingView, which seem to trigger faster?

1. List Alerts: where you apply an alert to an entire watch list
2. Individual Alerts: where you apply the alert to a single stock, or ETF

Thanks!

• Kratom remains legal in Minnesota, though the FDA warns of serious risks associated with its usage, including in over-the-counter products such as 7-OH.
• The plant native to southeast Asia is not an opioid, but acts on the brain’s opioid receptors, and doctors warn it carries risks of addiction and potentially death.
• Some have reported using the substance to treat anxiety and stop using opioids, but there have been concerns about its use to produce a high, and the serious side effects of some products sold.

HF 3453, sponsored by Rep. Jessica Hanson (DFL-Burnsville), raised the legal age to purchase and possess kratom legally from 18 to 21 years old – in the process making it a gross misdemeanor to sell kratom to anyone under 21, and a misdemeanor for anyone under 21 to possess it.

"I don’t think we should filter out AI content,” Mosseri said during an interview on Lenny Rachitsky’s podcast. “I think we should let you know if content is AI content or not.”
