Our AI flagged OGEN as a short opportunity early this morning at $6.44. As of this post, it’s trading around $4.95 — a sharp 23% move to the downside. What makes this trade even more interesting is not just the price action, but the underlying context.

OGEN went through a reverse split effective today. In most cases, stocks undergoing a reverse split can experience volatility, and shorting them can be extremely profitable. However, a critical piece of the puzzle is locating shares to short — and many brokers simply didn’t have shares available today.

For instance, I personally use Interactive Brokers, and no shares were available. However, discussions in our trading room revealed that CenterPoint Securities did have shares available for shorting.

If you’re serious about short selling and want an edge, having access to shares is crucial. CenterPoint offers a solution, and there’s more: Trade Ideas has a partnership with CenterPoint. If you trade 100,000 shares a month, you can qualify for Trade Ideas Standard for free through their program. (Minimum account requirements apply — please check with CenterPoint directly.)

Imagine missing a 23% move because your broker couldn’t locate shares. Having the right broker can make all the difference.

In summary, today’s trade on OGEN was a classic setup amplified by understanding the market mechanics and being prepared with the right resources.

Stay sharp, stay prepared, and trade smart.

See you all tomorrow.
