Re: advancing issues e mail alert

["Kent Rollins" <kentr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you get a cell phone with Text Messaging, you can have the text messages
emailed to it.  For example, with Sprint PCS phones, you pay an extra $5 a
month (maybe it's $10, can't remember).  You send email to
yourphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and it appears on your phone shortly
thereafter.  Usually the delay is 5 seconds, sometimes it's 5 minutes but
it's a lot easier than making a call every hour.  Message length is limited
to something like 150 chars.  Verizon and AT&T probably have something
similar.

Hello Omega-list,

  I  trade  the  oddball  system and sometimes have to be away from my
  computer  during the day. I don't need to see the action but do need
  to know what the advancing issues are doing to keep my trades going.

  Attached is an els for ts2000i for an indicator which can be applied
  to  a  1 minute chart with the S&P as data 1 and advancing issues as
  data  2. It sends an e-mail alert ( if you have enabled messaging on
  the  chart  and  on  the  program) which tells me what the advancing
  issues are at 5 minutes before each hour.

  I  have opened an e-mail account with Yahoo which can be accessed by
  telephone  which  will  verbally  read my e-mails to me.  So I can
  access  my  e-mail  account 4 minutes before the hour and I make the
  assumption  that  the  advancing  issues will not change much from 5
  minutes  before  the  hour  to the hour.  If a trade is indicated, I
  still have time to call my broker and complete the trade on the hour.

  Even  if  you  don't trade the oddball, I thought this code and idea
  might be helpful.

  Text of els is below:
