FRI 2/6: AEIS – SELLING (ALL) P/L: +$137.93 +0.7%

9:51 AM – I’ve been looking for an opportunity to exit this position, and today’s market-driven strength provides that window. Shares are trading higher this morning, but volume is only slightly above average, offering no strong confirmation of sustained demand. I’m selling the entire position and freeing up capital.

MY BUYS:
1/28 (2/3) @ $263.80

MY SELLS:
2/6 (ALL) +$137.93 +0.7%

James’ Trader’s Tip: Prune Weaker Positions From Your Portfolio

  • Market-assisted rallies often provide exit opportunities, not new conviction.

  • Gains on light or only modest volume lack durability.

  • When the market gives you liquidity, use it intentionally.

WED 1/28: AEIS – BUYING (2/3) @ $263.80

3:55 PM – This highly ranked semiconductor stock is advancing from its 10 DMA with a +52% increase in volume, signaling strong institutional participation. Initial support is defined at the 10 DMA of $259.31, with secondary support at the ROUND-$250 level. I’m starting with a 2/3 position, which is more aggressive than usual, and will be monitoring price action closely at the open.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/28 (2/3) @ $263.80

James’ Trader’s Tip: Size Reflects Conviction — But Risk Still Rules

  • Higher position size requires tighter attention, not looser rules.

  • Defined support levels keep risk measurable and manageable.

  • Strong volume from the 10 DMA is constructive — but discipline stays non-negotiable.
