Daytrading-order entry/execution

Wonder how to deal with this 'problem' and would greatly appreciate any suggestions. My partner and I have developed a system that gives us a list of stocks and entry prices to trade the next day. All of these work if the entry point is hit, so we use alerts just before entry point to warn us that we should be ready. The problem is if we use a company like MBTrading, which is good because the servers are rarely down..........we cannot enter and execute the orders fast enough since the alerts come in 5-10 at a time. They do not have the facility to queue stop limit orders, so every trade must be entered live. If we go to a company like Datek where we can put in stop limit orders the night before, the next day either the servers are down or we don't get confirmations.......in time so that doesn't work either. Thanks for any advice. Sincerely, Ketayun Rustom
