What Makes This Trade Great: FCEL and Letting the AI Do Its Job
What Makes This Trade Great: FCEL and Letting the AI Do Its Job
Dec 18, 2025
Hey everyone, Barrie Einarson here from Trade Ideas with today’s What Makes This Trade Great.
I want to talk about FCEL, because this is a really good example of why I’m always telling traders to pay attention to AI re-entries and not get discouraged if you miss the first move. To Subscribe to Trade Ideas:

Our AI originally flagged FCEL at 10:43. Right away, the stock moved higher and got up to around 10.86. If you took that initial alert, there was definitely money to be made. But then FCEL did what stocks often do—it pulled all the way back to the stop.
Now, this is where a lot of traders mentally check out. They think, “That trade’s done.” But if you understand how our AI works, you know that doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
After pulling back, FCEL retraced to about 10.27, which is roughly halfway between the stop and the original alert price. That gave traders a second chance to get involved. And honestly, this ended up being the better entry.
From that 10:27 area, FCEL pushed higher and reached about 10.93 before pulling back again. So if you missed the first alert or got shaken out, the re-entry actually offered a cleaner move with more upside.
This was also an earnings play, so volatility was expected. I don’t know what FCEL will do for the rest of the day—but that’s not really the point.
The takeaway here is simple:
If you’re using our AI, don’t ignore re-entries.
Stocks don’t move in straight lines, and the AI is designed to help you recognize when a setup is still valid—even after a pullback. Sometimes the best trade isn’t the first alert… it’s the second one.
That’s what made this FCEL trade great.
