HK/US/CN: What to Buy, Add, Trim or Exit Today — Using a Daily Signal Checklist

"Which stock should I actually act on today?" Most tools give you quotes and charts but never answer that directly. A signal checklist applies your rules across your whole watchlist and, each day, lists concrete actions: buy, add, trim, exit, or keep watching.

Why you need an "action checklist"

Screen time is limited; a watchlist has dozens of names. Judging each by hand is slow and easily hijacked by emotion. Running your rules automatically outputs a prioritized action list instead of a pile of data you still have to interpret.

Priority: handle sells before buys

A sensible order is exit > trim > add > buy > watch: deal with risk first (what should leave, leaves), then consider opportunity. That way, even if you're short on time, the most important things get done first.

A day with it

• 15 minutes pre-market: open the list, see what triggered today, and execute against it.
• One-click logging after acting: record each open and close, linked to the signal that triggered it.
• Weekend review: look at execution rate and attribution — is it the rules making money, or your improvisation?

Signals are a scanner, not a command

Important: signals surface the stocks worth attention, but whether you act — and any human judgment — stays with you. Treat it as "an assistant that runs your rules for you each day," not orders to copy blindly.

Summary

Quote tools answer "how did the market move." A signal checklist answers "which name should I move on today." Turning your own rules into one prioritized daily list is exactly what Stock Compass is built for.
