Traders are chained to their screens because alerts are unreliable, causing monitoring burnout and impulsive mid-trade plan changes

Summary

Traders report that trading consumes their entire day — checking charts and positions even on days they don't trade, thinking about the market morning to night, and feeling unable to step away. A key cause is that they cannot trust alerts to reliably tell them when price reaches their levels, so they watch every candle manually. Compounding this, traders struggle to define and stick to exits and impulsively change their plan mid-trade ('changing my exit every two minutes'), with no lightweight structure to hold them to pre-set targets. The unsolved need is a free, dependable alerting and trade-plan tool that lets traders set precise price, pip, and target alerts, walk away, and be notified — while anchoring their pre-defined exits so they don't improvise under stress. Existing charting platforms bury this behind paywalls and signups, and none tie alerts to a personal trade plan and journal. The result is burned-out, screen-addicted traders who make worse decisions precisely because they never leave the monitor.
