Can somebody recommend a site or software to generate sms alerts
whenever there's a MA crossover? I wanted to use Timetotrade.eu but
it doesn't seem to work very well. I'm not getting the signals at
the correct time. I think ProRealTime.com would work well but it's
fairly expensive. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I think breakpoint is planning to implement a system
notification functionality that will be able to email or sms system
triggers in real-time...if this is important for people on the blog
i encourage you to post...perhaps that can get this kind of
functionality accelerated schedule wise...so post or contract matt
if you think this kind of thing is important to you.
I know Matt has talked about adding this functionality and he
told me the service will eventually be available at an extra cost.
However, I don't know how close they are to having it setup. If
it's going to be sooner than later I would opt to just wait for
their service.
For me an alert system is necessary to use the mechanical
trading systems. I work full time and I'm often away from my
computer, so I would need the alerts on my mobile. Having the
alerts directly from BPT would definitely be a great service for
me. I would be the first one to subscribe ;)
The alerts would be great for the watchlist, and I look forward
to having them available. However, I think you are mistaken
if you think alerts would make it possible to trade the mechanical
systems. Maybe you could fool around with taking some trades
on the swing systems, but you certainly couldn't use alerts to
trade the EOD systems. The amount of slippage you would
incur, compared to the price at the open of the candle -- which is
what the sydtems are tested and based upon -- would be so large and
haphazard that you would have no way of knowing whether what you
were doing would even be profitable over time. if you're
serious enough about wanting to try the systems to set alerts and
keep your phone on and be ready at a moments notice to place an
order with your broker..........just take the effort to automate
them.
