Hey everyone, Barrie Einarson here with today’s edition of What Makes This Trade Great.

Let’s talk about AREB — a really wild one over the last few days. It’s been swinging hard, and someone in the room asked a great question:
“Why didn’t the AI pick it up on the way up?”

Here’s the thing — the AI’s not psychic. It’s working off specific filter values and strategy criteria that are triggered in real time. So whatever strategy configurations made the cut today, they just didn’t trigger on the way up. The price action didn’t line up with what the AI needed to see for a long trade.

But… it did line up on the way down.

The AI flagged AREB as a short idea at $10.80, reading it as a potential topping play. And it was right — this thing fell all the way to around $8.26 while we were watching. That’s a 20% move.

So no, the AI didn’t catch the rip — but it definitely caught the fade. And honestly, that’s just as valuable. It’s a good reminder that the AI isn’t about chasing every shiny move — it’s about waiting for the right setup.

Alright guys, I’m heading back into the trading room. Hope you caught some of that AREB action, and I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow.

Trade safe,
—Barrie
