Hello traders,

Let’s take a look at CTMX, which came from our Trade Ideas AI and turned into a really interesting example of why I always talk about patience and re-entries. To Subscribe: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHQ

The AI alerted CTMX at $7.19 around 7:19 AM, and right away the stock made a strong move. It quickly ran up to about $7.75, which is a solid momentum move for traders who caught it immediately.

But here’s the thing I always stress — you don’t have to chase the first move.

After that initial push, the stock pulled back, which is completely normal in momentum trading. In this case, CTMX came down and hit the stop around $6.97. When that happens, I like to look at the midpoint between the stop and the original alert price as a potential re-entry area.

For CTMX, that level came in around $7.08.

Now here’s what made this trade really interesting: you had plenty of time to think about it. The stock consolidated and gave traders the chance to plan the trade instead of reacting emotionally.

If you took that re-entry around $7.08 and simply stayed with the trade, CTMX eventually moved all the way up to $8.24 before pulling back.

That’s actually a bigger move than the original alert provided.

This is why I often talk about the second opportunity being the better one. The first move shows you the stock has momentum. The pullback helps reset the risk. Then the re-entry can give you a cleaner setup with a defined plan.

CTMX was a great reminder that sometimes the best trade isn’t the first move — it’s the one you patiently wait for.

And that’s exactly the kind of structure the **Trade Ideas AI helps traders identify every day.
