FRI 2/6: ISSC – CALLING A FINAL SELL SIGNAL @ $19.54 -5.6%

3:36 PM – Shares posted light volume gains into the 10 DMA, where they’ve been rejected repeatedly over the past two weeks. That line continues to act as firm resistance, and stock has not repaired technically. Calling a FINAL SELL SIGNAL.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/28 (1/3) @ $19.75 -4.6%
2/3 (1/3) @ $20.18 -2.5%
2/6 (1/3) @ $19.54 -5.6%

OVERALL P/L: –4.2%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Repeated Rejections Are a Message

  • Light-volume rallies into resistance are not accumulation.

  • When a stock fails at the same level multiple times, odds favor lower prices.

  • Exiting removes capital from weak situations and keeps focus on better-behaved names.

TUE 2/3: ISSC – CALLING A 2ND SELL SIGNAL @ $20.18 -2.5%

3:47 PM – Only lighter-volume gains today, which stalled at the 10 DMA. The stock remains in a defined downtrend, keeping the technical posture defensive.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/28 (1/3) @ $19.75 –4.6%
2/3 (1/3) @ $20.18 –2.5%

OVERALL P/L (ON SOLD SHARES): –3.6%

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Weak Rallies Don’t Change Trends

  • Rallies on light volume lack conviction.

  • Failure at the 10 DMA confirms resistance is still in control.

  • In downtrends, strength is something to sell into, not trust.

WED 1/28: ISSC – SELLING (ALL) P/L: -$405.91 -4.5%

3:52 PM – Shares are breaking below the ROUND-$20 support and closing at the session lows, confirming a loss of control. I’m exiting the entire position here and freeing up capital for potentially stronger opportunities.

SELL SIGNALS:
1/28 (ALL) @ $19.75 –4.6%

James’ Trader’s Tip: Round Numbers Are Decision Levels

  • ROUND-$ levels often act as psychological support.

  • Breaks below them, especially into the close, tend to invite follow-through selling.

  • Exiting quickly on structural breaks keeps capital available for better setups, not trapped in repair mode.

WED 1/14: ISSC – BUYING (1/3) @ $20.90

10:14 AM – Just exited a losing position in JPM following yesterday’s earnings sell-off to reallocate capital into a stronger opportunity. Initiated a 1/3 position as ISSC breaks out to new all-time highs with a +372% surge in volume, signaling decisive institutional demand. The stock carries elite ranks, sits within a leading group, and is backed by a strong fundamental history, validating the entry. NOTE – With additional available capital, this would have been started as a 2/3 position.

BUY SIGNALS:
1/14 (1/3) @ $20.70

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Capital Flows to Strength

  • Capital should be reallocated quickly from weakness into strength.

  • All-time high breakouts remove overhead resistance and accelerate momentum.

  • Starting with a 1/3 position preserves flexibility while allowing participation in high-conviction moves.
