Alerts are Eyes in the Back of Your Head

 Ok, so I'm a bit happy with myself because I was just yesterday I wrote about what Bella had said - that we need to sit in our seats and work when there's work. And today being the day after Thanksgiving and a short trading day and I having stayed up late for me and having eaten too much and even thinking, "I don't think I'm going to be trading tomorrow - I still got up early and decided that I should at least sit and watch the market. So I went through my normal routine and something amazing happened. I was trading, not supper happy with the way the stock I chose was moving and then BANG! or rather drrring! An alert I had set a couple days ago triggered! Say what you want or think what you want about the new Argentinian president but Argentinian stocks are in play. This happened to be one that I noticed and set an alert for  at a level that would get me to traded it. And that's it. It's these little things that come back and help us if we're there for it to help us. I could have left my computer off today and missed the alert. Anything could have happened really, BUT the point is, going through charts each evening and reading news and setting alerts is huge. It's like having a another pair of eyes when you set alerts. So the ripping through charts pays off. The setting alerts pays off. The sitting in front of the market when it's trading time pays off. Here's to our many blessings and what one trader (Peter Brandt) called "Cosmic Sovereignty." Cheers!
