What Makes This Trade Great: NAMM 🚀
What Makes This Trade Great: NAMM 🚀

Hello traders,
Barrie Einarson here from Trade Ideas with today’s edition of What Makes This Trade Great, and this one is a really clean example of how you don’t need perfect timing to make solid money — you just need discipline and patience.
Today’s trade comes straight from our AI, and the stock is NAMM.
The initial alert fired at $1.15, with a clearly defined stop at $1.12. Now here’s the important part — the stock never hit the stop. Instead, it immediately showed strength and pushed up to around $1.38.
Sure, if you took the trade right at the alert, you could have locked in a quick win. But this trade is great because you didn’t have to jump in immediately.
I always say this:
👉 Just because you get an alert doesn’t mean you have to take the trade right that second.
If you weren’t convinced at $1.15, you could have waited. You could have watched how the stock behaved around VWAP, waited for confirmation, and entered when it felt right for you.
And that patience paid off.
From that consolidation area, NAMM made a strong push up to $1.59, pulled back in a very healthy way, and then continued higher — all the way up to $2.00.
This is exactly what we like to see:
- Clean AI alert
- Defined risk
- No stop-out
- Flexibility on entry
- Strong continuation move
This trade is a great reminder that good trading isn’t about being fast — it’s about being right. Let the AI do the heavy lifting, manage your risk, and give the trade room to work.
That’s what makes this trade great.
