Yesterday's action did not disappoint.
There were many big movers with setups both long and short, including NIO, BYND, and REV.
However, in our opinion, one of the most interesting stocks to trade was GTEC.
Yesterday before the open, Greenland Technology Holding Corp announced they would begin offering an integrated electric drivetrain system to its existing clients to support the manufacturing of electric forklifts using lithium batteries.
It seems that words like "electric vehicle" and "lithium batteries" in a press release are all traders need to jump into a stock these days.
Anyway, GTEC had 2.1 million shares available for trading coming into the day, which puts it into the low float category.
This small cap went from $2 to $10 and then basically round-tripped, closing at $5.16 on the day.
Here's how it all went down:
This stock wasn't so clean though... At around 10:21 am, the chart looked very much like it was about to break down. As soon as enough shorts got in, the stock immediately reversed and flew higher. The point here is that stocks might possess certain characteristics or traits, very much like people do. Making a mental note of such traits can help you trade the stock better.
For example: if you all identified the short trap, you could have categorized GTEC as "sloppy" and would have known not to put so much confidence into the signals later in the day.
This simple hack would have helped a couple of times as the day progressed:
...at 10:33am the breakout "stuffed" and GTEC looked like it was done for good, only to make new highs 30 minutes later…
…after getting rejected at $10 the stock rolled over but never showed the big red volume candles— a typical sign of topping action.
The key idea here is to start thinking about nuances of the stock we are watching: Is it trending or chopping, is it a slow grinder or a fast runner, is it erratic or clean?
Such self-talk can add finesse to our game plans and executions. If we develop this habit, it will take our trading to the next level.
Speaking of, Jason Bond nailed GTEC yesterday. He may not have taken advantage of the full ride, but he captured a solid $1,500 profit— or just over 10%* — thanks to his textbook fishhook pattern he explains here.
