When you’ve been watching the markets as long as I have, you learn that the first entry isn’t always the best one — and that’s exactly where Trade Ideas’ AI re-entry feature shines.

The First Alert: A Valid Entry That Didn’t Follow Through

The AI originally called DBI long at $6.39.
That’s your initial trigger — the blue arrow on the chart.

But here’s the thing…

DBI didn’t take off from $6.39. Instead, it faded and hit a low of $6.20.

If you took the entry and followed your stop correctly, you walked away with:

  • A small loss
  • Exactly what your discipline is supposed to do
  • No emotional damage, no blown-up trade

That stop-out sets the stage for what matters most…


The Re-Entry Trigger: Where the Real Trade Happens

Our AI looks for the midpoint between the alert price and the pullback low.
So between $6.39 and $6.20, you get:

➡️ Re-entry at $6.29

This is where many traders hesitate — but this is also where the smart money gets back in.

And DBI proved why.


The Move: From $6.29 to $6.84

Was it a rocket ship?
No. But it didn’t need to be.

With patience, the trade pushed from $6.29 → $6.84, an excellent percentage gain, especially after the earlier shakeout.

This is the move that makes re-entries so powerful:

  • You get a second chance at momentum
  • You avoid chasing
  • You let the AI recalculate the structure for you

Final Thoughts

The market isn’t always clean on the first try. But with disciplined stops and the re-entry feature, you give yourself a second opportunity to catch the real move.

DBI delivered today — not on the first attempt, but on the re-entry.

And that’s what makes this trade gre
