CyberBuddy has the capability of retrieving delayed stock quote information. You can select up to 25 different stock symbols. CyberBuddy can report the price, change, volume and last transaction time, or some combination of these. You can tell CyberBuddy to only notify you when the stock moves in a particular direction or when it exceeds certain limits.

Announce When
This is where you tell CyberBuddy when you would like to hear about a certain stock.
Note:
CyberBuddy keeps track of stock reports as it retrieves them, if nothing has changed, not even the volume or transaction date, then CyberBuddy assumes that the market has closed and will stop giving you reports. This is to keep from bothering you when the market may be closed.

Every Time – Will announce the stock status each time a report is retrieved
Any Change – Any change in the price
Positive Change – Announce when the price goes up.
Negative Change – Announce when the price goes down.
Outside of limits – Here, you can tell CyberBuddy to alert you when a stock exceeds a certain limit.
If the Upper Limit box has a number in it, CyberBuddy will alert you when the quote is above this price.
If the Lower Limit box has a number in it, CyberBuddy will alert you when the quote is below this price. You may use both boxes to set a "limit window".
Note: Only decimal numbers may be entered in these boxes, fractions are not allowed. For example: 21.5 is permitted while 21 ½ is not.
