Continuing on this subject - ANZ securities now offer "Trigger When price" option but only on NZX. Have just rung them to implement.
What do others do if they are going away and will not have access to the internet to monitor stocks and/or do you just sell up if you are going to be away for ??? days weeks - how many?
Hope for the best?? - a lot can happen even in a week

ASB offers it on both NZX and ASX, don't know why ANZ cannot and yes you still have to ring ANZ to implement it

Have not thought much about the next question, talking about ASX shares on the CHESS - is there any reason why you cannot buy thru one broker and sell via another online if for some reason the need arose without having to jump thru 20 hoops. The "register" is thru CHESS/Share registry not the broker is it not? Never tried it, but if possible could be a solution - messy to move your funds around etc, but for the odd occasion possibly Ok.
