Riding the Wave: Why YSS Was the Trade of the Day
Riding the Wave: Why YSS Was the Trade of the Day

Hello traders,
Barrie Einarson here from Trade Ideas with today’s edition of What Makes This Trade Great.
Let’s talk about YSS, a relatively new IPO that’s only been trading for a couple of months. This isn’t one I’ve highlighted much before—but today, it absolutely deserved attention. To Subscribe: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHQ

The Setup
We initially saw a buy flag, which is always worth noting. But the real opportunity came just after that—during a tight consolidation near the highs.
This is key.
Instead of chasing the initial move, the better entry came as the stock paused and built structure at the top. That’s often where the highest-probability continuation trades come from.
The Move
Once it broke out—boom.
From roughly $22.12 to $22.95, this was a clean, controlled move. And what made it even better?
Riding the Wave
This is something I emphasize all the time:
👉 Ride the wave.
YSS respected that principle perfectly.
- The candles stayed above the wave
- No deep retracements into the middle
- No breakdowns below
That tells you institutions are supporting the move. When a stock behaves like this, it allows you to stay in the trade longer with confidence.
Too many traders exit early—but when a stock is riding the wave properly, you want to stay patient and let it work.
Why This Trade Stood Out
On a day where long setups weren’t performing well, YSS stood out because:
- Clean technical structure
- Strong continuation pattern
- Respect of key indicators (the wave)
- Minimal pullbacks before the move
That combination is what separates average trades from great ones.
Final Thought
Even in tougher market conditions, there are always opportunities—if you know what to look for.
YSS gave us:
- A textbook consolidation breakout
- A strong trend continuation
- And most importantly, a perfect example of discipline in letting a trade run
That’s what makes this trade great.
