4. Consider setting alerts

You don’t have time to stay on top of your investment 24/7—but you also don't want to miss out on buying or selling when the time’s right for you.

Alerts can help. They let you know about stock movements, economic news, or other things that could affect your trade.

You manage your risk by adjusting your trading orders with instructions for when to buy or sell.
