BacksideTrader

$GLMD looks like a potential fade setup into the day after the initial PR spike. Watching for exhaustion and lower highs. No position.

@janu5151 Yes, was not at my desk at that time so I missed it. That was my zone so in hindsight, I probably would have short it that rejection or around 7$.

@BacksideTrader Just curious, is there a reason you didn’t jump in sooner after the massive rejection off HOD?

$BBGI Backside short and covered on this meh news. Revenue down 21%, still unprofitable. Debt deal not closed, bondholder approval pending. Hoping for round 2.

$INHD

$OMEX short and covered. Cut the 1st short then reenter around 2.25 avrg and covered on washouts. 50M float are hard to squeeze.

@FactPulse93508 What did you trade this morning.

@BacksideTrader I didn't trade that stock holy fuck.

$CETX Short, running on Navy SBIR news. Phase I = small contract, not a business changing catalyst imo. Market is pricing CETX like this is a major contract… it isn’t. 1/4 left.

@FactPulse93508 Tools don’t make traders buddy, execution does. Post the chart man.

@BacksideTrader Should i generate it with chat gpt?

@FactPulse93508 Show your chart buddy, i'll wait.

@BacksideTrader If i only i was such a genius with chat gpt by my side.

$SKYQ Short from ~6.20 and covered(the green arrow was fat fingers). No fresh catalyst today, still riding last week’s oil supply crunch narrative. Low float momentum + retail chase = sharp moves and dump.

@GUS_player_C @traderprad @jmuck17 Try again.

@traderprad @jmuck17 Tested everything but still no clear edge

The more I backtest I more I found there is no edge in sc

$COCP Short and covered. Fast Track = regulatory label, not revenue or approval. Still early (Phase 1), limited visibility on data so far. Catalyst was real but often leads to a short-lived move rather than sustained strength IMO. Big miss on SKYQ — wanted it higher around 7.

@nofear_182 It’s the Supertrend indicator on TradingView, I set it to 15-minute timeframe. I use it as a guide for covers.

@BacksideTrader What do you mean 15m Supertrends for covers?

$KIDZ shorted into the highs and used the 15min. Supertrend for covers. Locates weren’t cheap but the conviction was there, compliance regain = weak, technical catalyst, no short interest → no real squeeze fuel and once the push stalled, was just a matter of time before the dump.

$POLA extension short and covered. Pure technical move + momentum chasers. No fundamental support. Can reverse just as fast and it did.

@elbarrikelo No structure, no levels, nothing defined, just noise. At least for me.

@BacksideTrader Could I Ask what you mean with BFRG no range? Many thanks in advance for this post

Shorted $SST backside — rejection at 4.25–4.36 was the trigger. Low float + failed push toward 4.75-5 = momentum shift. BFRG no range, JCSE I wanted higher 1.90-2, ELAB (insane locates) and ASTC no trigger.

$JCSE short an covered on washout, hoping for round 2 tomorrow.

@EternaLEnVy1991 Good post. Not surprising, ego keeps most traders stuck and some people just need to fail on their own before they're ready to listen.

Some of the most retarded things I've seen in trading: 1. I streamed all my trades from Jan 2024 till ~Aug 2025 my entire run from 30K to multi 8 figs on my mentor's discord, an unprofitable trader who watched everyday stayed unprofitable trading their own style for majority of it. 2. A trader spent a decade trading everyday for multiple tens of thousands of hours and still remains unprofitable. I found him interesting and we were on dms for awhile. I was honestly trying to learn from him. Later on I suceed heavily and hes never once asked me for help even tho I got him sponsored by my rich friend to trade with more funds. 3. I recently tutored my good friend's friend for two sessions as a favor as they were interested in starting trading. That person had a bunch of things they wanted to explore but I tried to help them focus on a few ideas. It was clear they wanted to explore their own style and I was left on read (thank god). 4. At the beginning I was in dms of 3 ex pro players daily about trading. I reached out to all of them about trading with me more closely. They all rejected or wasn't too interested at the time even though I was starting to find sucess. Most haven't reached out to me since or took like 1.5 years to do so when its too late. And many more... All these retards wanted to "be themselves" and "find their own way." They don't want to admit they are heading the wrong path and they don't want to ask for help untill its giga undeniable (too late). Honestly this is probably just normal human (retard) behaviour. And they think I am eGomAXxing because of how I speak. Realistically more real and humble than any negative trader. The first real hope I found in trading when I first started was from going through a paid discord looking at how people talk and msging the people I considered the smartest to teach me something. Most rejected and didn't offer much but @gabriel__daher who was profitable at the time helped me and taught me some shit. Reached out eventually and turned out he was no longer profitable. I taught him some shit for a few hours and dropped him off in another discord with some profitable traders as repayment for his kindness. Though basically I just left him a new starting point. He msged every fucking profitable trader there endlessly till he found a mentor. And now hes BALLIng. Honestly almost every 8 fig trader I know has found their initial sucess through some mentorship or from working together with other traders and developing together. I've personally learnt a lot from a lot of different traders throughout. But how do you get help from other traders? At the end of the day its all about give and take. Surprisingly people nowadays don't quite understand that. Instead they are entitled and demand help. They annoy you and threaten you instead. Their idea is if they are terrible to someone they will get help from them eventually. Bitch I rather burn all my fucking money than help you. It's honestly just a sense of pride and honor as well. As a taker you need to know your place and to at least try to give back or at least feel in debted to try to help them out later. Some people don't mind teaching a good guy who has potential and willing to work hard. Maybe try to be funny? Make them feel good for helping you. The people who leech more than they give will be cut out eventually or just receive less. For me how I got to learn from traders was by sharing to them than they did to me. Or if anyone ever shared something with me thats +ev first I would tax myself to give something back of value. But if those people take it for granted then thats that. As an example some people taught me some shit first like @irigstocks or Zero and I was too bad to help them back but now I have returned the favor to help them out of being WASHED AND TRASH AS FUCK. And of course my mentor who I have no idea where I would be now without him. But also without me I think he would be at 1/3 as well. Give and pay your debts. I still have some left to pay. (was gonna write something but im hungry peace)

$EEIQ is the direct sympathy to UGRO imo, same tiny float, same Nasdaq compliance story, same post-reverse-split setup. Today's volume in EEIQ confirms traders rotating from UGRO to EEIQ. Watch for a fade if UGRO's earnings disappoint today, careful out there.🤟
