BBWI Recap: +6.0% Day Trade with Volume Surge
Why We Bought
- On November 24th, our automated bot qualified BBWI (Bath & Body Works) for all three day trading variants: Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive. This qualification set up the trade for November 25th.
- Multiple insiders purchased shares on the same day. Historically, the average upside reaction is larger when insider buying happens in clusters rather than from individuals, suggesting strong internal confidence.
- Days prior to the trade, trading volume had surged to approximately 250 million dollars daily, roughly 2.5 times higher than the normal 100 million dollar average. This abnormal volume spike suggested significantly more traders were watching BBWI, which tends to increase the chance that insider buying will produce a strong short-term price reaction.
- The stock had been falling over the past several weeks with strong selling pressure, but started to level out in the past two days. Insider buying occurring after a decline like this often acts as a positive catalyst, as some traders view it as confirmation that the pullback may have been excessive.
- BBWI's lower average volume compared to mega-cap stocks meant it was less correlated to broad market movements. The stock behaves more like a meme stock than a strictly institutional stock, which can amplify reactions when investor attention rises quickly. This lower correlation profile helped protect the trade from broader market volatility, allowing the insider buying catalyst to drive price action independent of overall market conditions.
- Together, these conditions, along with 11 additional proprietary filters being met, created a high probability setup for day trading.
Trade Plan Sent to Clients
- Buy BBWI at the market open on November 25th.
- Sell at the market close unless the stop loss was triggered.
- Stop loss was set at minus 7.5 percent.
Trade Result
- The stock opened at $16.14 on November 25th. The combination of clustered insider buying and abnormally high volume created immediate buying interest at the open.
- Throughout the day, BBWI attracted both institutional and retail attention, as the 2.5x volume increase suggested more traders were monitoring the stock for potential reversal signals after the recent selloff.
- The stock's meme-like behavior amplified the price reaction, as is typical when insider buying coincides with surging retail interest.
- By the close, BBWI finished at $17.11, resulting in a gain of 6.0 percent in a single trading session.
- Because all three day trading strategies aligned on this setup, clients across Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive variants were able to participate.

Conclusion
The BBWI trade demonstrates how clustered insider buying combined with abnormal volume can create compelling day trading opportunities, particularly after extended selloffs. The 2.5x increase in daily volume suggested that significantly more traders were watching the stock, which amplified the reaction to the insider activity.
Unlike higher-volume mega-cap stocks that tend to be more correlated with broad market movements, BBWI's mid-range liquidity profile gave it the characteristics of a meme stock. This meant it could react more strongly to catalysts like insider buying when retail and institutional attention converged.
While not every trade delivers double-digit gains, consistent single-digit winners like BBWI add up over time. The key is maintaining discipline, following the stop loss rules, and staying patient for the high-probability setups that align across multiple filters. As always, the long-term consistency of the strategy matters more than any single trade result.
UAMY Recap: +10.2% Day Trade in a Single Session
Why We Bought
- On September 30, our automated bot qualified UAMY (United States Antimony Corporation) for all three day trading variants: Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive. This qualification set up the trade for October 1.
- Insider conviction was a key driver, as UAMY's CEO purchased approximately $600K worth of stock, signaling confidence in the company's future.
- The company announced a $245M IDIQ contract with the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency to supply antimony metal ingots for the National Defense Stockpile.
- UAMY secured international supply agreements in Bolivia, Chad, Canada, and Australia, further strengthening its global positioning.
- Since August, UAMY rallied from $3.20 to $8.16 before pulling back, but it remained about 18 percent above its 30-day simple moving average, showing the broader uptrend was still intact.
- The stock's daily trading volume exceeded system thresholds, confirming liquidity. High volatility and reactiveness to news also made it an ideal candidate for short-term day trading.
- Together, these conditions, along with 11 additional proprietary filters being met, created a high probability one-day setup.
Trade Plan Sent to Clients
- Buy UAMY at the market open on October 1.
- Sell at the market close unless the stop loss was triggered.
- Stop loss levels were set at minus 7.5 percent for the Conservative and Moderate strategies, and minus 12 percent for the Aggressive strategy.
Trade Result
- The stock opened at $6.75 on October 1. Momentum accelerated early in the session as insider conviction, contract news, and recent uptrend attracted both institutional and retail interest.
- Short covering added further upside pressure throughout the day.
- By the close, UAMY finished at $7.44, resulting in a gain of 10.2 percent in a single trading session.
- Because all three day trading strategies aligned on this setup, clients across Conservative, Moderate, and Aggressive variants were able to participate.

Conclusion
This trade highlights the effectiveness of the Insider Buying Day Trading Strategy. Insider conviction, combined with a strong contract catalyst, high momentum, and liquidity alignment across multiple filters, produced a decisive intraday move. While most trades result in smaller single digit wins or losses, the strategy is designed to capture moments like UAMY, where insider activity and market conditions create significant short-term opportunities.
Patience and consistency are key. The majority of days may feel uneventful, but staying disciplined ensures we are positioned for the rare setups that deliver the strongest results.
