hey guys im not sure if this is available for all brokers but i
took a quick video showing how to setup a conditional order in
ib. hope this helps
LINK I know ameritrade has something similar known as
trade triggers
schwab does not have this capability, but you can set an alert
with the time condition and the price condition. It only lets
you set the time condition in minutes, not seconds. You can
then have the alert trigger and buy the stock for you. I just
talked to a schwab representative and he walked me thru the whole
process. If you are on schwab trading platform, call schwab
to learn how to do this.
