Falling asleep is the enemy. I missed this easy move!

that chart pic is from metatrader 4 with autochartist running on it. It advised a buy on the green arrow on the far right with a take profit advisement at the thin blue line area. there are some other indicators on the chart also like the CPR indicator which is candlestick based and then the mini-monitor which is several moving averages at diff time frames. they work fairly well if take them all into account along with some fundamentals and now know where short term/long term support resistance areas are along with the Fib retracements etc.

I have the same problem, when I run to the kitchen to make a bite to eat and a pot of coffee. I finally got the wifi setup at home, so i now have a laptop in the kitchen.

Exactly, I don't think I have a problem with alerts, I can set alerts very easily. I just wait for moves SO long some times and they don't happen until as little as 10 minutes after I go to sleep. I feel forsaken by the trading Gods sometimes.

mike, did you see my question?

[DickP]

All you need is a cup of joe Mike and something to keep you interested in staying awake, like a movie or something.

[Mike]

I really don't like coffee with caffiene in it, I like decaf Starbucks sure, but their espresso shots give me the jitters.

Starbucks is my Mecca, I take my laptop there every chance I get.

Be nice, I like Starbucks, although I never really sit down in there, just get my drink and go.

If only computers came equipped with a starter pistol instead of an internal speaker, that will definitely wake you up every time!

I agree, not sleeping is an enemy to your health. and if you're dead how can you trade?
