Umm, stop orders?

  I think you're hinting that the existence of stop orders make this unnecessary. For some people that may be true. Quote Sentinel only notifies you -- at the time the first Quote Sentinel script was written, I couldn't find something that would send me a text message when my limit was about to be triggered. Basically I personally had 2 main use cases: 1. I want to go to lunch and I want to be notified if something is happening and I should come back to my desk. 2. Markets are dynamic. Today I'd love to buy AAPL 10 bucks lower than it is, but if the market drops like a rock, it might not seem that great anymore. For big moves, I'd rather be notified so I can make a decision with the new information instead of my limit/stop getting filled based on what I thought was a good idea before. Its definitely not an app for everyone, but it solved a specific need for me so I thought it'd be worth turning it into an app for others.

    One thing I've always wanted is a view of the world that's beta-adjusted. "Stock is up 7%, but down 1% if you factor in correlation to SPX"
