Alerts and Conditional Orders with Cybertrader

I am most excited about Alerts and Conditional Orders with Cybertrader. It is draining setting your own "mental" stops. And the alerts with Etrade aren't as complex as Cybertrader. Alerts and conditional orders are going to take a load of work off of my back - and I expect it to increase profits (and decrease losses).
I am reading over an old email tradermike sent to me - he suggests alert templates will save a lot of time - you can just right click on a stock and fill in the price for the alert. That is a good suggestion and I will make some templates now.

Another thing that is cool is the Scan Ticker. One thing it will do is scan for block trades. I plan to input the top 100 alpha stocks into this ticker and let it show me any block trades. I'm going to look into the CyberQuant scanning now. *sigh* Comcast was supposed to come between 12 and 5 today to set up the internet - I got a call from the cable guy saying he was "just around the corner" and would be there soon. An hour later I called because he didn't show up - and guess what? They had no orders for setting up the internet at my address! It turned into hours and hours of three-way calling between my landlord and Comcast... Comcast sucked in Minnesota and it sucks in Philadelphia. Why do I keep coming back to them? Because they are the only option! Anyway, I may not be trading this week because of this.

Hey Ugly....
I had a post about this very topic on my old blog site back in October - http://thestockbandit.blogspot.com/2005/10/life-savers-cybertrader-alerts.html

I hope you find it useful! Keep up the good work.
