Hey everyone, Barrie Einarson here with today’s What Makes This Trade Great.

So today’s a little different — I want to talk about a short I took in $HIMS. A couple of days ago, the stock had a massive run, really strong momentum. Then yesterday, it gave a lot of that back, just like we saw across much of the market. To Subscribe: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHQ

Now, I actually had this one “thumbnailed” — meaning I kept it up on one of my side monitors, just watching it. When I woke up this morning, I saw HIMS again and thought, you know what, this still looks pretty weak. So I decided to take a short.

And wow — it’s been a great trade. I’m not out of my entire position, but I’ve been using the Trade Wave (that orange line you see on the chart) to manage it. Normally, I’ll take some off as soon as we pop through the top of the wave — that’s just good risk management. But I held part of it this time, and that really paid off. The weakness continued, and the trade just kept working.

The key here? Patience and confidence in the setup. You don’t always have to nail the perfect entry or exit — you just need to trust your system and manage the trade properly.

Have a great weekend, everyone — and keep those potential setups “thumbnailed.” Sometimes the best trades come from the ones you’re quietly watching.
