    Default Is there an application that alerts you when your stocks cross a % loss or gain?

    I'm looking for an application which allows me to enter my stocks and and alerts me when any of them either gain or lose a certain % (customized by me). Anything like that out there? I'd love to get a txt message or a pop-up message on my computer screen letting me know of this % increase/decline.

    I'm also hoping there is a similar app. out there which would give me an audio beep on my smart phone letting me know a stock has tripped a certain % that I had setup.

    Anyone know if these exist?

    Check with your broker. I know ScotTrade has an alert system that will send you alerts when stock xyz hits a certain price of percentage change, along with other triggers. I only use the email notification, but there is an option to send to mobile device which I believe must be email capable (i.e. BB) but I could be wrong.

    BTW: This is not an endorsement for ScotTrade as recently they have been pissing me off with their ever growing "restricted lists" and I am currently looking for an additional broker.

    I also use ScotTrade alert and send the alert to my cellphone's email address.
    The price alert works fine but there is a time delay so I usually set my alerts little bit higher/lower. The news alert does not work too well since most news are extremely long and not readable in some cases and some news are repetitous.
