How do I best make use of and act fast enough with the Watch Lists and the trigger announcements?

What things should I do when I first get the next day's WL to best prepare for using the WL during the market hours? For example do users identify their entry, exit and objectives for each stock before the market opens and then monitor and act on these plans during the day?

Once the market day is underway what must I do or look for so that I use the WL information most effectively? Do most users act ahead of and in anticipation of the calls constantly looking for opportunities in the WL before the calls are posted? And what are the most important things that one might look for? Remember I'm new here and so I don?t see these tigger events most of the time. I hope to over come that as soon as possible. I'm much more dependent on calls and learning from them than my ability to see them coming (and to do it fast enough!). I must admit that even analyzing at the end of the day I'm not sure what besides a sudden price change are the key indicators that might make one consider a trigger.

Some of this gets to acting fast. I'm guessing some answers I might get will help me be better prepared in advance to make quick decisions (to have done more of my thinking before the market opens.) It's sometimes seems pretty amazing to me that when some calls are posted and I check them out right away and they already have had sizeable appreciation and I'm not all that confident that the stock will continue to go further from that point. Of course it seems like if I chicken out that the stock will of course sky rocket from that point later. And if I do get into the stock then it seems that the one I picked doesn't perform a brilliant takeoff and it may even appear that I got the high of the moment as it falls back a bit (impatience on my part probably). (My results tell me that I really don't do as badly as it sometimes feels.)

Thanks for any help!

ps - why when I cut and paste from word into here do I see my apostrophes turning into question marks?
