Mixing Trading and Traveling

The sun has dawned today. As I continue with self-studying the system of a successful trader, I finally came across an outline of the trading lessons.

Anyway, a question hit me if you need to be on the watch every time the market opens to watch your stock?

ZF shares how you can several vacations or hold a day job and still do well on the stock market

1. Create a trading plan
• are you for the small swings or big waves?
• what are your entry price, cut loss and trailing stops?
• do you have time stops when the stock you are watching isn't moving?
2. Plan ahead
• requirements of line trading is a phone/laptop and Internet connection (as most have an online broker) and so if you go to places with no Internet access then do not trade
3. Set triggers and alerts
• install a mobile app that sends you an SMS once your trigger and cut loss points are hit. Then at the time you have access to the Internet/ laptop can you post an Off-Hours (OH) order for the next trading day
• ZF used PSE Watch for this. There is also the Investagram InvestaWatcher. It's a subscription which alerts you via SMS for triggers and FB messenger for Dividend reports. It comes with a monthly subscription rate of P167 to P267 per month but paid yearly on subscribing.
