Best practices
Set meaningful levels
Choose price points that would actually prompt you to act, not arbitrary numbers
Don't over-alert
Too many alerts leads to alert fatigue. Focus on what truly matters
Use percentage alerts for volatile stocks
Exact prices matter less for stocks that swing 5% daily
Combine with research
Set alerts, but also ask Tendrill for context when they trigger
