event alarm

I am fairly new to fx and have a newbee question.Mostly I look for constricting bollinger bands to begin with and in particular situations where candles have gone high or low outside of the bands.
My question is, rather than spend 24 hrs a day watching for the patterns I`m looking for could someone recommend a software program that I could program to sound an audible alarm when conditions are met? any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You might try www.alertfx.com. I used them once before to notify me of EMA crosses. They only provide simple alerts based on your criteria. Nothing extravagant. Good Luck!

Thanks for you kind reply. I would pay for an outside system if that was the only way to do it. And I appreciate your suggestion however I was more looking for a computer based program that I could set-up at home.I am home full time but not always in front of my computer .So a computer based alarm would be more beneficial than a cell phone alert. any other ideas ?..Thanks

CMS (www.cmsfx.com) trading systems provide an audible alert anytime a signal is generated.

Forex.com has email alerts and sms alerts based on price criteria. If you have yahoo msgr it will make and audible alert when you recieve this email. Im sure you can find a computer based program too but it won't be free. I would set the alert about 10 pips from your interest so you have time to react. Hope this helps a bit.

can you tell more about the email alert? where can I find the setup page? thank you

Vt Trader has A lot of trading systems. You can program anything to sound an alarm. It is not tooo hard to program and I think about anybody could figure it out. If you can't , there is plenty of help on the fourms at http://www.visualtradingcharts.com/ and http://www.cmsfx.com/en/platform/forum/

MetaTrader 4 can do it...
Several brokers on this forum offer it free...
Good luck...
