John,  I don't think Metastock can fire signals to brokers athough someone had started the thinking behind it. That would be nice and would be a great sales feature. Particularly if it would link to a solid platform like Interactive Brokers using API. I use pager alerts. What I find is that the quickest I get them is 1' later, and sometimes much later based on your wireless phone company. Verizon is much much better than at&t for timeliness of receiving alerts in Michigan. I would suggest using a slower 15' or 20' chart to trigger alerts so that the signals and your reaction time to place the order still make sense.. 

Best of luck,

This is of value for day trading where quick order placement has a higher priority than normal.  If Metastock can't do this directly is it possible to do this via a DDE link from Metastock.  Specifically how would you fire that link in Metastock to enable order placement.  I've asked this question before and not received an answer.
