The Problem with Over-Alerting
When every minor price tick sends a notification, the signal-to-noise ratio collapses and you start ignoring alerts entirely. The goal is to be notified only when something genuinely requires your attention. A well-structured setup should fire a handful of times per week, not dozens per day.
Practical Ways to Control Alert Volume
Choosing Between WhatsApp and Email
Use WhatsApp for high-priority alerts on stocks where you are ready to act quickly. Use email for lower-urgency alerts on stocks you are monitoring but not actively trading.
Aim for a setup where alerts fire two to five times per week. If you are seeing more than that, your thresholds are too tight and need widening.
