Using Price Alerts to Avoid Screen-Watching

Price alerts notify you when a level is reached, eliminating the need for constant screen-watching.

Key rules

1. Set outer alerts (approaching level) and inner triggers (entry level)
2. Alerts prevent FOMO-driven checking while ensuring no missed setups
3. TradingView free plan: 1 alert; Pro plan: unlimited
4. Alert on both price levels and indicator conditions (e.g. RSI < 30)
5. Review alert logic weekly and remove obsolete levels

Price alerts on TradingView and most brokers notify you via email, SMS, or push notification when price reaches a level. This allows you to step away from the screen while the market approaches your setup.

Set alerts at two points: the outer alert (price approaching your level) and the inner trigger (actual entry level). This two-tier system means you're never caught off guard.
