Alerts: let the market come to you
Turn a scan or level into a notification so you do not have to stare at screens.
Alerts notify you when a rule triggers, such as a breakout, a price level or a scan match, on a schedule you choose. They are a discipline tool: decide the conditions in advance, act only when they hit.
Good alert habits
- Alert on levels you have already analysed.
- Keep the list short so each alert means something.
- On trigger, re-check the chart and context before acting.
Key takeaways
- Pre-decide conditions; react only on triggers.
- Fewer, better alerts beat many noisy ones.
- An alert is a prompt to look, not an instruction to trade.
