Fund price notifications

Hi guys,

Can anyone advise me on the best way of being notified (via email) of a fund pricing hitting a given level.

I thought this may be something Hargreaves Lansdown would offer when you have an account with them but I can't seem to see that feature anywhere.

Basically I'd like to be able to set something whereby I get an email if Fund or Stock X goes under or over a given price.

Are there any free or reasonably priced services that can do this?

Many thanks

S

    Not tried this myself but go to
    http://www.trustnet.com/
    set up a login name etc,
    if you want, create a Portfolio (i.e. fantasy stock holdings)
    create a "Watchlist" with the funds you're concerned with
    choose "Alert"
    I think it does what you want.
    " Use the alerts function to set up email alerts which will tell you when your price and performance targets are met."

    I think Trustnet (www.trustnet.com) does this. Register there and set up a portfolio or watchlist. Add the funds you are interested in to the portfolio or watchlist. You should see an "alert" tab which allows you to set a price at which it will send an alert. I've never used it but I assume it will send you an e-mail..

    For shares I know Digital Look can send alerts, and I'm sure other sites offer the same.

    EDIT too slow :)
