Conditional Order Entry

[ronb107]

With a day job, it's difficult (i.e., impossible) to day trade.

Is there an online service that supports conditional order entry (like XpressTrade) for stocks? I would like to enter a position using a stop-limit, and include the stop-loss and profit stop in one order. This way, I don't have to watch the screen all day, or use a live broker.

TIA, Ron

Thanks. This is helpful. At least there are some alternatives. But I'm surprised, in this electronic age, that this can't be handled online.
