January 2, 2026Can you clarify for me, this video did not seem to match the data on the original page for APP and I found that confusing. Specifically, it was released after this morning’s dip yet didn’t acknowledge the initial stop of $619 and suggested a different stop based on a weekly close of $618.67. I want to understand how to navigate this in the future. Was $619 the expected stop or had it changed at some point from a general stop to a weekly close and I missed it? Thanks.

January 3, 2026The initial stop loss never changes. $619.00 has always been the hard stop for this trade.
Separately, a weekly close back below the channel top is also a valid reason to exit, even if price has not yet reached the $619.00 stop. The channel top represents structural support for the setup — losing it signals that the breakout has failed.
This week, the confusion comes from the numbers being very close.
1% below the current channel top at $624.93 is $618.67, which is essentially the same level as the $619.00 stop.
To be clear:
We exit at $619.00 if price reaches the hard stop.
We also exit on a weekly close below the channel top ($624.93), even if price is still above $619.00.
For additional context, last week the channel top was $634.22. If APP had closed below $634.22 last week (for example at $628 or $626), that would have been reason to exit the trade — even though price would still have been well above $619.00.
$619.00 is the worst-case stop designed to cap risk. The channel-top close is a structural failure signal. This week, those two levels just happen to line up closely, which is why it may feel confusing. Let me know if that clears things up.

January 5, 2026I think so thank you, by the time I realized that we’d hit the stop (which I didn’t set) we were already back up to $625. I over thought it and should have sold the $625. Lesson learned, and I appreciate the explanation.
