We had PROK light up on our AI this morning with an alert at $5.78, about 10 minutes after the open. Beautiful setup!

Guess what it did? It ran all the way over $7 before it had any meaningful pullback. That’s a huge move in roughly 20 minutes.

Sounds like an easy win, right?

But here’s the truth: our AI strategy actually got stopped out for a small loss.

Why? Because the AI runs systematic rules. It didn’t sell on the way up. It waited for signals that never came until the pullback hit the stop.

This is exactly why we say we don’t just “let people automate the AI.”

Our AI is best used as a smart signal generator. It’s your job as a trader to manage the trade. Enter near the signal price. Watch the move. Take profit when it’s there.

If you’d simply held that alert, you’d see $5.78 to $7 in 20 minutes—that’s a fantastic day trade. But you can’t let that turn into a loss by refusing to manage it.

👉 Key lesson: The AI finds you great opportunities. You have to work the trade. That’s how you win.

Until next time—trade well!
