I've been using the latest Signal 4.0 (beta) to send an alert to my
AN pager via the internet. It emails a message to a recipient that
you specify which can be an epage service. I use Arch Communications
which will then forward the message to my pager.
I'm working on visual basic code for Excel that would do the same thing
with more bells and whistles. Excel gets the data via a DDE link then
loops to check for conditions such as stops or targets ( including spreads)
or theoretical option prices based on the underlying's last price. It's not
necessary to go thru the web with this system because the AN pager
company has a toll free number to access the pager after a simple logon
using a 1200 baud modem and a short script.
I'd like to collaborate with anybody who would like to set up such a system.
