I’m so pumped about mytrade‘s latest development.

Now, with a free account at twitter and a cell phone, you can get instant stock quotes anytime, free!

Just join twitter (takes 20 seconds), then ‘follow’ mytrade (by typing in “follow mytrade”). Mytrade will automatically follow you within 1-2 minutes. Once you get that notification that mytrade is following you, you’re ready to get your free quotes :)

To send twitter a text message, just send to 40404. Here is what you should send:

“d mytrade aapl” = you’ll get a quote on apple stock instantly

“d mytrade aapl msft dell ebay” = you’ll get quotes on all 4 companies instantly

You can even set up a watchlist to get 3 automatic quotes throughout the day (morning, midday, after close)

Like so:

“d mytrade watch aapl” = you’ll get updates on AAPL 3 times a day

“d mytrade watch qqqq ebay yhoo”  you’ll get updates on those 3 tickers, 3 times a day :)

To turn off automatic updates on a stock, just send:

“d mytrade stop qqqq” to stop updates on qqqq.

Or if you want to turn them all off, just send:

“d mytrade stopall”

You gotta love the combination of twitter for text and thinkorswim for quotes, and mytrade for bringing it all together :)
