Quotesentinel: The Best Way to Monitor Your Stocks

If you merely dabble in the stock market or perhaps take it a bit more seriously than that you too can look like Gordon Gekko with quotesentinel.com ticking away on your PC.

This application gives you a web based stock monitoring system that will relieve you of the tedious task of logging in and doing separate searches for the stocks you hold or the stocks you’re interested in.

Like any investment, you want to keep an eye on performance but don’t want to be a slave to the PC screen to the detriment of other important things you should be doing. Setting up a Quotesentinel account and applying the PriceWatch function to your portfolio will give you the freedom to get on with other stuff safe in the knowledge that you won’t miss a rise or fall in important stock values and the chance to make or save money.

The central dashboard of the application is where it all happens. Here you can enter all of the stocks you hold or are interested in and set the relevant high and low price triggers that will nudge you into action to buy, sell or hold depending on your strategy.

You can opt for email or text alerts allowing you the freedom to get out and get on with other things like shopping for groceries. The great thing about getting information on the move is you can also deal with it instantly. You may also get a few looks as you lean over the frozen pizza counter shouting buy, buy, sell, sell!

The application ticks over in real time and so you can leave it on all day and the prices will automatically refresh. Once you receive an alert the PriceWatch function for that stock will be turned off until you decide what course of action to take. Once you decide you can reset the limits and turn the function back on.

There are several price plans to choose from and a free one for the low volume personal investor. For this you can have 10 stocks monitored and 10 email/SMS alerts a month. The range then goes from Investor to Trader to Professional at $8, $13 and $39 a month respectively.

A word of warning here though, none of these plans come with a free pair of braces and a cellphone the size of a house brick!

Conclusion
This is a useful application for both small time punters and more professional traders. With world stock markets going up and down like a yoyo at the current time though anyone interested would need to make sure they sign up for a plan that gives them enough price alerts per month to cope.
