Utility or active website for forex price alerts

[telstrareg]

I‘ll be simulated trading for quite some time, so I’m not at the stage where I want to fork out for real time data and run it through a program like Amibroker to generate alerts.

I would have thought there would be some website out there with a facility to set price alerts for various pairs and then sound an alarm via Java or something. Alternatively a small desktop utility which has a data feed. However I haven’t managed to find anything like that.

I know of one site that will email you an alert for free when a pair hit’s a certain price, but I don’t really want to be hitting my mail server every minute checking for an email which may come once a day.

Have you tried here... http://www.metaquotes.net/ ...
Free charting programme for most major pairs in periods ranging from 1min through to monthly.... can set audible alerts.... also by adding an expert it is possible to download R/T data to your hard disk which can be read from a charting programme (with asci converter). It is where I get my spot data from for my FX-Gold trading.

i use a service called www.forexpricealert.com

its free too and covers most tradable pairs.

the downside though is it only covers forex, not stocks!

hope it helps

Kauri,
There is another good one for MT called the Chin Breakout Alert.

It adds two movable trendlines that alert when crossed by price.
