🔎 The Setup: 10-Day Daily Breakdown
This trade came straight from the 10-day daily breakdown scanner. The alert hit at $10.93, and while this wasn’t officially an earnings play, OMI had already pre-preleased its numbers. Earnings aren’t due until February 19th, but the early news was enough to shake things up.

📉 The Market vs. The Stock
Here’s what really made OMI a standout trade—the market had a strong bounce, but OMI? Didn’t care. It just kept trending down, down, down. This is the definition of an alpha stock—it moves independently of the broader market, giving us a clean, trend-following opportunity.

💡 Why This Trade Worked
✅ Clear breakdown off the 10-day level
✅ Earnings catalyst keeping the momentum alive
✅ Alpha stock behavior—ignoring market noise and continuing its trend

🎯 These are the kinds of setups I always look for—stocks that move with conviction, regardless of market sentiment. When the market zigs, the best trades zag.
