Hey everyone, Barrie Einarson here from Trade Ideas, and today I want to talk about something that I think is a perfect example of what our AI can actually do — and I mean really do. To Subscribe to Trade Ideas: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHQ

The stock is HQ. Now look, I know what you’re thinking — “Barrie, it’s up 23% today, of course it’s great.” And yeah, obviously, that’s awesome. But that’s not the point I want to make here.

Here’s the thing. Our AI flagged this one. There was an alert — you’d see the buy flag right there on the daily chart — and at the time, the stock was somewhere in the low $20s. And from that day on? It’s been almost straight up. Every. Single. Day.

That’s what I want you to see. Not the 23% today — that’s just the latest chapter. I’m talking about an AI alert that caught this move before it happened and basically rode it the whole way up.

Now, I get asked this question all the time: “Barrie, is the AI only good for day trading?”

And this is exactly why I love showing examples like HQ. When a stock closes strong — really closes well — you have a choice. You don’t have to close the trade out at the end of the day. You can hold it. And if you had held HQ from the day that alert triggered? Well, you’d be sitting on one heck of a trade right now.

That’s the beauty of what we’re doing here at Trade Ideas. The AI isn’t just scanning for intraday scalps. It’s identifying setups that have real legs — stocks with momentum that can carry for days, weeks, sometimes longer.

So next time you get an alert and the stock closes strong, ask yourself: does this have more room to run? Because sometimes the best trade isn’t the one you close at 4 PM — it’s the one you’re still holding a month later with a huge smile on your face.

Like HQ.

That’s what makes this trade great.
