No worries Citadel will put a stop to it.
94.7% short volume
53 million short out of 56 million volume
50.6 million after hours
It seems that that after hours trade coincides with the amount of volume shorted. MMs paying each other back while cellar boxing the stock?
It also seems OTCN needs to be on top on level 2, whenever a seller had a larger order they increased theirs.
I wonder if there was a large enough sell order it would block OTCN for a while?
Maybe tomorrow I will put some up for sale to test my theory.
If my shares sell they would not show up as short volume. I can always get them back as .0001’s are endless right now.
Can anyone explain why on think or swim when they sold @ .000001 it stays there even though there has been 7 more trades since?
otcshortreport get their info directly from finra.org daily short sale volume files. It is available daily at about 5:30 pm eastern. I go directly to finra as it posts earlier than otc short report and doesn’t miss days.

Today is 84% short volume.
Shorts and haters have been discrediting otcshortreport for years. Yes it is volume not interest. But how can you have 84-99% volume with out adding to short interest?
Corruption, like right after a 11.5 million buy at .0002 crooked mm lets 100 shares at .00015. One and a half cents.
20240229|GTCH|271706236|0|612333738
Only 44% short volume today and no after hrs form t.
Seems like form T are relative to days short “volume”. Could mm be covering days short right after bell? Is there any way to get more info on form T? What MPID trading to what MPID?
ALL but 1 share was short today. ONE!27,236,964 out of 27,236,965.
105 million shares traded after the 160 shares @ .000001. All hidden, including mine.
Just bought 30 million shares @ .0001 and price doesn’t move they will close this at .000001 after a 160 share sale to scare the retailers for the weekend.
In crooked mm land you too can spend $0.00016 to drop a company market cap 1.5 million dollars.
I took out otcn but cfgn took over with the reloading .0001
106 out of 111 million “reported” short volume today. 95%
Yesterday was 99%. Both days the after the bell dump is close to the days volume. Maybe covering the days shorts?
I did hit the ask three times. Showed up in volume but didn’t show up on chart or change the price. 50 million trades did not show up or move the price back to .0001. They also didn’t show up on otc website.
I bought 10 million at .0001 at 10:53. It did not move the price up and did not show up on think or swim. Volume is moving but trades are not showing.
OTCN (Apex Clearing) slipped for a minute while calling Citadel.
I tried. Bought 25 million, it took almost a minute for them to load more shares for sale before it filled.
MM signals (if you believe in that)
300 @ 1.00 = bringing it down 30% to load shares
100 @ .81 = I need shares
2000 @ .85 = they succeeded in scaring someone to sell
As long as the bids sit 20 -30% below the volume trades of the day this can happen
I wouldn’t worry though. Games help shake out the weaker hands. When this makes the bigger moves there will be less selling for pennies.
Bids are at .80 and .78 and have been higher almost everyday but they picked the perfect moment at open to sell for $.66 seconds before retail bids loaded.
Why would they want to sell 30% below yesterday’s close if not to scare?
I have a gtc order in at .62 but the after hours price is bid at $.086 to scare.
I’m sure I will quickly get reprimanded about how it works and how little I know by someone who is way smarter than me.
Thank you for the info. I’m finding it interesting. Very lengthy and detailed, I’ll probably go over it a few times. If anyone can tell it is a subject I think matters but might have misunderstood. It seems odd that the exact amount of shares I bought today is what show up in the finra regsho. But this post makes sense.
The short sellers are slowly pushing it down. The last two days they have gotten bolder. Yesterday shares were shorted at $.80 and today they were shorted at $.90.
I bought 1600 shares today at $.90 and the finra report shows 1600 shorted. Since only 2841 shares traded today then some or all of my shares were shorted.
Yesterday 7,340 shares traded at $.80 and 10,377 shares total and 6,939 shorted so some or all were shorted at $.80
The only way to push past the shorts is to keep the price moving up. Sitting on the bid 20% to 30% below yesterday’s close is only going to embolden the shorts.
I have to wonder were there stops are and what percentage increase will trigger them to cover.

My apologies to you and everyone else on this board.
I joined after reading for a long time and have come to highly respect the views and information that Justjoe1979, NewTrader2017, Backstabbed, seth1640 and others I’m sure I’m missing.
I thought I could add some insight and personally find knowing what is happening daily with the short position helpful.
I jumped the gun on that post after seeing trades made yesterday and today for the same amount. When I see time and again posts asking who is selling and wondering if they should when a lot of it is short selling I try to point it out. In fact yesterday and today had almost the same volume but the short amount is opposite for a average of 48.96% with 4194 shares shorted today and 5872 yesterday. I also saw other strange similar trades like 312. Maybe I shouldn’t focus so close, but I’ve seen lots of games played and watched stocks shorted down on good news. Since the good QR and PR last Tuesday 61,511 shares have been shorted and we are below last Monday’s high.
Since you actually bought the 4K share, I congratulate you and wish you luck. I will try to be more accurate, I did use the word probably in my false assessment, but would like my post to be helpful. I’m glad you joined even if was to correct me and tell me a forum on a stock is no place for speculation. I do wonder why my being wrong about this being short upset you much. I also thank you for all of the information of what can possibly go wrong.
I will continue to post but will do my best to be positive.
Good Luck To All who are long.
4K shares Probably the same market maker that shorted it yesterday $.935 at 1:53.
Google Finra regsho scroll down to the orf in the evening. If you can wait until after 8 am the next morning you can get the same info on otcshortreport.com
I find it help in figuring out what’s really happening with the stock.
Don’t let them trick you that this bad news or believe that big investors are selling by putting up 6000 share at $1. Trying to cap their short losses by bullying the retail investors.
The only way they can sell 15 million shares at a minimum of $2-$3 is to move the price up past that.
The large short positions need to cover but I believe most of it is market makers.

They want you to get scared to cover their short.
New to this board (or any) but have held FLES since last August. I have enjoyed reading and decided to participate.
I notice no mention of short volume and see people post about who’s selling. The real answer is almost no one the last few days. I get the short report from otcshortreport and finra REGSHO. The shorts are putting the majority of the pressure on this.
I’m not trying to scare anyone, shorts are the helpful enemy, as long as you don’t let them scare you into a sell off. I am long and hold a lot.
