Let’s take a look at POLA.
This trade began with an AI alert at 2:29 PM. As often happens, price initially popped higher, then pulled back—eventually hitting the stop. For many traders, that would be the end of the story.
But this is exactly where the AI re-entry shines.
After stopping out, POLA retraced to roughly halfway between the original alert price and the stop, which in this case was around $226. That midpoint triggered a re-entry opportunity—and what followed was an exceptional move.
Before any meaningful pullback occurred, POLA surged from $226 all the way to $271. That alone is a tremendous gain and a spot where prudent traders would likely take some profits off the table.
But the move didn’t stop there.
As the stock continued higher, additional opportunities to scale out appeared. And for traders who managed to hold onto a remaining position, POLA ultimately pushed as high as $375—an outstanding result from simply trusting the re-entry mechanics.
