Today I want to talk about a nice short opportunity on METC. The AI gave us the alert right at $12.39—you’ll see that little down arrow on the chart. That’s our starting point.

But the real edge? Watching the wave color.

On the 5-minute chart, the wave turned orange and stayed orange. That’s exactly what you want in a short. The orange color means the trend is continuing.

Here’s how I approached it:

  • Enter at the AI alert price: $12.39.
  • Hold the position while the wave stays orange.
  • Take partial profits if there’s a little bounce—no shame in locking some in.
  • Exit or reduce more aggressively if you see the wave switch to blue—that’s your warning the move might be over.

This is why I always tell traders: Don’t just look at the alert. Use the wave. It helps you manage the trade and avoid bailing out too early.

That METC short was a perfect example of combining our AI’s entry with disciplined trade management.

Hope that helps you guys see the power of this approach.

See you tomorrow for another one!
