The Setup

The original alert came in at $3.07. There was probably a small opportunity to make some money early on, but the stock then hit the stop, chopping up and down through that level.

The Re-Entry

Eventually, we got a re-entry price of $3.02 — halfway between the original stop and the original alert price. That’s the re-entry doing exactly what it’s designed to do: giving you a second shot after getting stopped out.

The Big Move — and the Big Round Trip

From that re-entry, before things finally rolled over, CDTG ran all the way up to $4.61. That’s a huge move off the re-entry price.

But here’s the catch: the stock came all the way back down to $3.39 after that high. Going from $4.61 back down to $3.39 without taking any profit along the way is a rough outcome — and completely avoidable.

The Real Lesson

This trade wasn’t just about catching the move — it was about managing it. You can’t let a stock run that far in your favor and then give it all back. Locking in partial profits as a trade extends is part of the job, not an afterthought.

The Takeaway

CDTG delivered a strong move for the second day in a row, but the real takeaway here isn’t the entry or the re-entry — it’s discipline once you’re in the trade. And there’s still a chance this one makes an end-of-day run, so it’s worth keeping on the radar.
