$NPCE Alert Recap: The $5.50 Call and a $7.7518 High So Far

Listen: hear this article read aloud (about 3 min).

My alert on $NPCE went out at Fri, Nov 13, 3:31:44 PM ET: long at a stated price of $5.50, target $7.72, stop $5.28. In the alert's own minute (regular session), $NPCE traded between $6.78 and $6.83 and closed the minute at $6.80. The stated $5.50 is outside that range (−19.12% from the minute's close).

I alerted $NPCE in the Making Easy Money Discord, where my alerts are posted first.

The original alert

Posted Fri, Nov 13, 3:31:44 PM ET by me: long at a stated price of $5.50, an initial target of $7.72, and a stop at $5.28. In the alert's own minute (regular session), $NPCE traded between $6.78 and $6.83 and closed the minute at $6.80. The stated $5.50 is outside that range (−19.12% from the minute's close).

The alert’s own setup notes: Setup: NPCE in a downtrend, last break of structure down at $12.00. | Momentum: Strong downside pressure, against the target for now, watching for a turn. | Target context: $7.72 👈, Target zone in play if momentum holds. | Risk: Partial profits recommended on strength. | Stop: Below $5.28, trend weakens.

Every follow-up, in order

1. Fri, Nov 13, 4:55 PM ET: I posted TAKE PROFITS with the price at $7.35. That is my post, not a recorded fill.

The bull case

• My latest stated target is $7.72.
• The recorded highest after the alert was $7.7518 (+40.94% from the stated price).

The bear case

• The stated $5.50 was −19.12% from where the stock closed the alert minute.
• The stated price is not a verified fill; real execution can differ.
• A PT SMASHED post is my call, not independent proof of liquidity or of a continuation.

What price did after the alert

The highest price recorded after the alert, through Fri, Nov 13, 7:56 PM ET, was $7.7518 in the minute beginning Fri, Nov 13, 4:01 PM ET (after-hours), +40.94% from the stated $5.50 and +14.00% from $6.80, the close of the alert's own minute. A minute bar identifies the minute, not the second of the trade, and trading after Fri, Nov 13, 7:56 PM ET is not included: a later print could still go further.

The lowest price after the alert was $6.62 in the minute beginning Fri, Nov 13, 3:35 PM ET, still +20.36% from the stated price: it never traded through the stated $5.50 afterwards. The stated stop at $5.28 did not trade in the recovered bars.

Targets, checked against the price data: $7.72 (original target) first traded in the minute beginning Fri, Nov 13, 4:01 PM ET.

Source: Massive aggregates (unadjusted, including premarket and after-hours); 83 one-minute bars after the alert (0 premarket, 28 regular-session, 55 after-hours); no stock split after the alert; prices unadjusted, in the same units as the alert.

The latest quote

Latest available price: $7.1616 as of Fri, Nov 13, 7:56 PM ET (close of the latest recorded minute bar). From the stated $5.50, the long price-only result is +30.21%. From $6.80, the close of the alert's own minute, it is +5.32%.

$1,000 hypothetically placed at the stated price would be about 181.8182 fractional shares, worth $1,302.11 at the latest quote, a price-only change of $302.11 (+30.21%), before fees, taxes, spread, and slippage. No actual fill is confirmed, and the stated price was not where the stock traded in the alert minute.

What the record does and does not prove

A PT SMASHED post is my statement that a target was reached and a new one set. The price checks above say whether the recorded trades agree, and when. Neither one is a member’s fill, share size, partial exit or realized return.

The percentages hold the alert’s stated price constant. They do not model whether a reader could have bought at that price, nor spreads, slippage, commissions, taxes, borrow fees or position sizing.

The next checkpoint

The latest target in the sequence, $7.72, has traded: price data shows it in the minute beginning Fri, Nov 13, 4:01 PM ET. Any level beyond it is my scenario, not an achieved result.

This is a time-stamped audit as of Fri, Nov 13, 7:56 PM ET. A later quote, a later print or a new post can change the scorecard without changing the original alert.

Kill switch

Any one of these and the thesis is over, no averaging down, no renaming it.

• The source alert’s stated stop was $5.28.

The call. If the latest alert scenario reaches $7.72, that is my stated target being met. The alert’s own invalidation reference was $5.28.

What the record says

The alert stated $5.50; the latest quote is $7.1616 (+30.21%) on a price-only basis. The highest recorded after the alert, through Fri, Nov 13, 7:56 PM ET, was $7.7518. This is a report of an alert, its follow-ups and the recorded trades, not an audited trade return.

The desk's scenario leans bullish. Readers can say bull or bear in the Making Easy Money Discord, where the alerts land first.
