What do other people do?

I'm wondering if I'm missing something?  Is there some other plan to get in at a good price?  I can't simply sit in front my PC all day and manually scan (or even automatically scan) prices, and in any case gaps and rapid increases in price mean that this is not viable.  If its an A+ pick and market breadth is very strong I could just try to get in at any price - but I think that would bite me.

Thoughts?

Hi,

most of the stocks breaks out during the first 60 minutes of trading so I try to sit in front of PC somewhere during this first 30 minutes or an hour and quickly check my stocks. Of course I have a watchlist (with around 20 tickers) already prepared so this is a quick scan. If there is a breakout I buy, set a SL and forget about the stock (remove it from watchlist). Other than that alerts of course are useful and trading using the mobile phone.
