What Makes This Trade Great: XAIR and the Power of Re-Entries

Jan 13, 2026

One of the decisions I’ve made recently with our AI strategy is to focus exclusively on re-entries—and today’s trade in XAIR is a perfect example of why. To Subscribe to Trade Ideas:

Here’s the logic behind it.

We start with an original entry and a defined stop. If the stock hits that stop and then retraces halfway back between the stop and the original entry, Trade Ideas automatically gives us a re-entry price. This keeps us out of weak moves and puts us back in only when the stock proves it has real strength.

In XAIR’s case, the original entry was around 164, with a stop near 159. The midpoint between those levels was 161—that became our re-entry price.

Now, if you had taken the initial alert, you may have made a little money. But then the stock rolled over, came back through the stop, and many traders would have been shaken out for good.

That’s where the re-entry logic really shines.

XAIR pulled back, tagged the re-entry level at 161, and then took off. From that re-entry price, the stock ran all the way up to 244 before any meaningful pullback.

That’s a massive move—and a textbook example of why waiting for re-entries can dramatically improve trade quality. You avoid chasing, you avoid emotional decisions, and you let the market confirm the setup before committing capital.

I don’t know what XAIR will do later in the day, but that re-entry alone was a tremendous trade and a fantastic demonstration of how powerful this approach can be when paired with AI-driven alerts.
