# Wavealert user story: Hold shares and keep calm

**Buy shares, take sleeping pills and stop looking at the papers. After many years you will see: You are rich. (André Kostolany)\_**

Lutz M. owns a number of small share positions that are characterized by low volatility. The price performance of his portfolio is characterized by a sideways movement with a gentle rise. [WAVEALERT](https://www.wavealert.de/) only alerts him if the price trend of individual positions breaks out of its sideways movement. This allows him to decide at his leisure whether it is best to buy more shares or take profits. Thanks to WAVEALERT, he can remain relaxed without having to monitor the current performance of his numerous positions on a daily or weekly basis. He also needs no or only very generously set limits in his portfolio, such as "stop folders". This automatically forces him to sell his shares if the price falls by a certain amount.

"I like using [WAVEALERT](https://www.wavealert.de/) and am pleased when I am notified and informed. The alerts signal to me that the values of my investments are changing within the limits I have previously defined. This function is essential for me so that I can make a good decision in good time. Another help is the notes function for the assets, in which I record my strategy and experiences with individual values."

We do not recommend sleeping pills, but [WAVEALERT](https://www.wavealert.de/) so that you can sleep soundly at night, even during volatile stock market periods.
