Understood. thanks. I prepare for my swing trades. But I just needed to get clearer on expectations on the alerts.  Sorry I missed out on available information.  I am sure I read it in the past and just forgot. :-) Anyways, I took small trades on those alerts just to force myself to understand them better, realized I was doing it wrong,   asked my question in the forum, and heard what i needed to hear. I need to stick to my properly planned swing trades and let the alerts help me there when there is alignment. I will get better!
