Now, we’ve seen this before. A little-known company drops “Nvidia” into a press release, and suddenly it’s on everyone’s radar. It’s legitimate—Nvidia obviously approved them—but not all of these plays get the kind of action AIFF did today.

Breaking Down the Trade

🚀 The Setup: I saw AIFF moving in the pre-market and kept an eye on it. News like this can be hit or miss, but when traders latch onto it, you’ve got a potential momentum play.

🎯 Entry Point: I waited for a clean break of $4.50 before jumping in. Once it cleared that level, the move was strong, and I locked in profits near $5.00.

📉 Exit Strategy: Took profits in chunks, but looking back, I wish I had held on longer—this thing had some serious follow-through. Volatility made it tough to sit through, so I played it safe.

📊 Market Sentiment: A lot of traders in our Trade Ideas room were all over this, and when that kind of interest builds, stocks can really start moving.

Lessons from AIFF

Watch the News – When a stock drops “Nvidia” or another big name, it’s worth paying attention.
Key Levels Matter – That $4.50 breakout was my trigger. A clean break of a level with volume is always a good sign.
Lock in ProfitsScaling out helps you stay in control when things get volatile.
Momentum is Everything – If traders believe in the move, it can go further than expected.

Final Thoughts

Today’s AIFF trade was a perfect news-driven breakout, and these types of setups happen all the time. The key is knowing when to jump in and when to take profits. Some traders in our room rode it even longer, so big congrats if you caught the whole move!

See you all tomorrow!
