In my trading, I really like using alerts and recommend everyone to do the same. The main ways of using them for me are:
1. While waiting for a tap into my Area of interest. 2. After entry, for waiting at my breakeven level. 3. Also for waiting for the First partial level, the second partial as well of course.
I use them in other ways as well, for example, it helps me while I'm waiting for confirmation to set up.
It's great to install a Trading View app so that you can receive notifications on your phone.
