How to Set Up (3 Steps)
- •Step 1: Add stocks to your watchlist on StockAlert.pro (recommended: 10-25 positions)
- •Step 2: Enable "Daily Reminder" and choose delivery time (market open or after close)
- •Step 3: Choose notification method (email or SMS) and save
Done! You'll receive a consolidated daily brief with current prices, 52-week context, volume, and active alert counts for every watchlist position. One scan instead of 25 manual checks.
Example: Coinbase Lock-Up Tracking - May 2024
- •Setup: Coinbase (COIN) facing major insider lock-up expiration in May 2024 - potential selling pressure event
- •Signal: Daily reminders tracked price action and volume patterns consistently through the event window
- •Alert Trigger: Daily digest showed volume staying normal despite approaching lock-up - no selling pressure materializing
- •Result: 'Lock-up fear premium' already priced in - buying opportunity confirmed, stock rallied post-event
- •Key Insight: Multi-day pattern (volume staying normal) only visible through consistent daily monitoring - manual checkers missed it
Scenario Guide
| Scenario | Watchlist Size | Best Timing | Example | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active Positions | 5-15 stocks | Market open | Core portfolio daily scan | Monitor for anomalies, trim signals |
| Pre-Earnings Setup | 10-20 stocks | After close | Track accumulation patterns | Watch volume building pre-report |
| Catalyst Window | 5-10 stocks | Market open | COIN lock-up tracking | Monitor event progression daily |
| Sector Rotation | 10-15 stocks | After close | Tech vs value rotation | Track relative strength patterns |
| Turnaround Watch | 5-10 stocks | Market open | Recovery plays daily check | Watch for momentum shifts |
When to Use
- •You have 10-25 active positions and want systematic daily awareness without manual checks
- •You need to track multi-day patterns (sector rotation, pre-earnings setup, post-news drift)
- •You want a professional morning routine automated - one email replaces 25 broker app clicks
When Not to Use
- •Watchlist >50 stocks (information overload - use reminder alerts for long-term holds instead)
- •Passive buy-and-hold portfolio (quarterly reviews sufficient, daily is noise)
- •Already checking broker app 15x daily (you need LESS monitoring, not more structure)
Conclusion
Daily reminders automate the single most important habit in active investing: consistent position awareness. The trades you miss from inconsistent monitoring cost far more than any tool. Start with your 10 highest-conviction positions and build the discipline that compounds over decades.
