live share prices and alerts

is there a site where I can see real time share prices and set price alerts for shares at certain levels?

Im currently with HL and XO but everytime I want a share price I have to undertake a buy/sell procedure without going through with it. Naturally, if I want to track 20 shares its not very practical.

I used google finance but the delay is at least 15 mins and the prices are not always correct for all stocks.

thanks.

    Many sites will give you real time prices - eg ADVFN, Digitallook. But it's a paid-for service, you wont get it for free.

    www.shareprice.co.uk will give you free real time priceing although one word of caution it is not the mid price but the last traded price (so if the last traded price was a sale it will be low if it was a buy it ill be high.) it is easy to work out the mid price though as it also gives you the buy/sell prices.

    Set-up a portolio on there and you can track shares live I use this when in buy mode and stalking the best price on a share or to alert me when it gets withn my buy/sell range. If there is a share you don't hold and want to track put it in at 1 share at the price you want to bu at and it will help track that. I also use it to track the price of sharesI have sold which given the right price would buy again. Using the same technique as above I set 1 share at the price I sold at.

    Not sure if you can set-up alerts on it as I never have it is not something i need.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
