Haven't received any form of response from them as of yet and I don't care enough to pester them.
If they ever just approve me and believe I'm a U.S. Citizen I'll write a review.

Really nice thread!
Stock Exchange just recently sparked my curiosity, and reading this contained good info on it too.

My online broker is telling me ADXS prices were $50 to $25 back in 2005-2006, but Google's graph and Nasdaq's show me a very different graph. According to other graphs the stock was never that high of a price. I have 20/20 vision so I know my eyes aren't lying haha, do you know any reason why this is the way it is?

I'm not home so I can't verify this myself but as far as I'm aware the only reason the prices displayed differently is because of a stock split at some point in their history it is likely that they did a 2-1 stock split meaning that their total value was in the fifties.
Google would track the ticker alone meaning if a split it wouldn't record the other ecplaining the difference in price display.
I will look into this when I'm home in about an hour.

I think I just figured it out, they did a 1/125 split in July 2013 according to yahoo.

Sounds right and that explains the price difference.

Tradeking won't show me the split which is kind of annoying, none the less I'm thinking this will be a good buy for tomorrow. How would one go about buying and automatically selling if it drops or rises to a certain price? also there seems to be a 74 cent spread for this, how can I make money if the bid is $7.30 and the ask is $8.04?

Do you use any particular program/webiste to graph/alert you when a stock has reached a low?
Edit: I don't mean just lows but in general do you use a program that you can set several different stocks and it will alert you when they've reached that price?

Generally I use my phone for alerts to be honest;
I execute a lot of my trades on the go. There's an app quite literally called "stocks" on android devices that allows for price alerts. I'll try and find the link for you in a bit

Set your stop losses and it'll sell upon reaching (X) PT.
Look at what it closed at, Submit order for about 10 cents more, you should get your order filled upon market open monday.

My choices for action are Buy, Sell, Sell Short, Buy to Cover. My price type choices are Market, Limit, Stop, Stop Limit, Market on Close.
How would I go about doing this?

Purchase the stock
You should then be able to set a sell stop.
