Matt- that's exactly what I have been doing - trading too late and not giving enough wiggle room.   This aint easy! :)  I've been trying something different over the last week.   I've been setting up trade entries to trigger on your alert entry price and automatically generating the stop order using the ToS order trigger feature.   That gets me in with a defined loss but I still struggle with knowing when to get out.   As soon as I have made a few % I like to move my stop to break even.   If I make a big % I'll sell half and let the other run (like BE today).   But in the end, I still end up having to watch the stocks as if I were day trading.    I'll be OK just moving back to the end of day SPY and 401K system alerts when those are up and running again.
