Thanks for feedback.  I liked the longs as overall the market seems to be an uptrend despite the ups and down on the short term.  But I guess I should indeed be looking to capture small gains on an initial move  (which are typically tiny in my experience) and then sell the rest at a trendline reversaL   Unfortunately I have to work my job during the day so maybe the simple fact is that the alerts aren't appropriate for me as I can't be glued to the chair.
