    Can IB send price alerts to email without the software turned on?

    Futures broker that has cheap phone order commissions?

    Open E Cry charges me $25 per phone call order (plus standard commissions) which can add up with a few calls. I'm looking for someone with better rates for phone orders. Any suggestions? Thanks Ashan

    How can I automate trades through Excel and not need my computer to stay on?
