Ah the proverbial problem for us folks with non-investment jobs...

In the past, When a nice handle has formed, I'd make a buy/limit order just above the pivot. I'd then check to see if it executed. If it did, I'd check to see if volume is sufficient. If the volume is low, I'd immediately sell. 

I've also been setting hard stops immediately after the buy as I've not been able to track the market as much during the day.

I have been eyeing this stocking, trying to get in for
awhile.  But it is too late at the end of the day
since it rose ~14% today.  So, my question is how do
you get a position in when the BO is so strong and so
fast?  I can't be looking at stocks every minute of
the day.

How do some of you guys do it?  Set email alerts? 
Maybe something else?  How has your alert system been
working for ya?  Any other suggestion?

Thanks,
tomas
