What would ET do?

The 2 hours of sleep route is a fast track to blown accounts — sleep deprivation and good trading decisions are genuinely incompatible, and prop firms will find that out through your drawdown before you do.
The good news is the schedule problem is solvable, but it requires being honest about which style of trading actually fits your life right now rather than forcing the one you originally imagined.
A few things worth considering:
If you're set on prop firms specifically, most of them don't actually require you to trade the open. The 9:30-10:30 window gets all the attention because it's volatile and moves fast, but a lot of consistent prop traders work the late morning session — roughly 11am to 1pm ET — when things settle into cleaner structure and there's less noise. Depending on your timezone that window might land at a far more reasonable time. What timezone are you actually in? That changes the answer significantly.
The bigger question is whether swing trading or a longer timeframe might serve you better right now. Prop firms are increasingly offering swing trading evaluations, not just intraday. If you're working full time, spending evenings studying charts, setting alerts, and placing trades that play out over days rather than minutes removes the timezone problem almost entirely. You do your analysis when you have time, set your levels, and manage the position without needing to be glued to a screen at market open.
The trap a lot of beginners fall into is assuming prop trading means scalping or day trading. It doesn't have to. Matching your trading style to your actual life circumstances isn't a compromise — it's risk management.
What's your timezone and what kind of prop firm evaluation are you looking at? That'll help narrow down what's actually realistic for your situation.

Hey everyone, I’m planning on buying Cerebras (CBRS) when it IPOs this Thursday (May 14th). I’m a retail investor using Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
Given that the IPO is reportedly 20x oversubscribed and the price range was just bumped to $125–$135, I know I won’t get the institutional price. I’m trying to figure out the best execution strategy to avoid getting "bagged" by the Day 1 hype.
My current thoughts:
1. **Wait for the afternoon dip:** I've heard most IPOs peak at the 11 AM public open and cool off around 2 PM ET once the initial flippers exit.
2. **The "Day 2" Strategy:** Is it statistically better to just wait for Friday morning to see if there’s a sell-off after the first-day excitement?
3. **Limit Orders:** Since I'm on IBKR, I plan on avoiding market orders to stay safe from the spread.
For those who have traded hyped AI IPOs recently (like ARM or others), what was your best entry point? Did you buy the opening candle, or wait a few days for the volatility to settle?

Cut your weeds, not your flowers!
And don’t fomo chase every stock that makes some news - you need to do your own research. Consider the fundamentals of where the company is, where it’s heading, whether YOU think it’s undervalued, and what might go wrong. If you don’t understand those things, how can you make a good decision? If you sell because “number went up some,” where is the money going next that’s better?
I’m going to give you one to look up. After decades of investing, DRTS is the most obvious play I’ve seen since AAPL had already introduced the iPhone but was still trading at only 10 P/E (in the teens split adjusted vs. heading for $300 in 2026).
DRTS manufactures a unique, low-dose, but incredibly potent radiation source that is injected directly into a solid cancer tumor using biopsy equipment. It has to be injected to work because it has a tiny range - it can be blocked by a sheet of paper. This tiny range is awesome because 1) it means the treatment can be sent safely in regular mail 2) the procedure can be done in an office setting - it doesn’t require any heavy lead shielding, and 3) most importantly - the radiation doesn’t damage the tissue outside the tumor, leaving the patient’s healthy tissue and immune system intact.
It works on all types of solid tumors. They have an almost unbelievable number of trials going on all over the world in a wide range of cancer types to prove this out. They have already received marketing approval in Japan a couple of months ago, so the transition to revenue has begun, and they are on track for FDA submission later this year.
Still with all of the readily available evidence, DRTS is somehow currently valued by the market under $1B. When I look at what they have, and their addressable market I think it can eventually grow to be worth many 10s or even 100s of billions if you give it many years. Because the valuation is so low now and revenue is coming shortly I think it’s hard to lose much from here - even if the rosiest forecasts don’t pan out I think it’s still worth multiples of what it trades for. Since it’s a device, not a drug, it’s more symbiotic than competitive with pharmaceutical treatments.
Monday 5/11 8:30am ET they have a pre-market conference call to share early results of the first 3 patients in their GBM brain cancer trial.
It’s a good time to kick the tires.

No ET? Energy transfer

J-Star Holding (YMAT) ripped on Friday after announcing a financing MoU tied to its proposed Texas solid-state battery manufacturing facility.
\*\*The catalyst\*\*
YMAT signed a Memorandum of Understanding with White Group to identify U.S.-based private equity partners for a $100M investment in YMAT's Baytown, TX facility — covering construction, automation, and technical development. The raise complements a previously submitted U.S. Department of Energy grant application. The pitch: combine Taiwanese chemical innovation with U.S. manufacturing to supply the aerospace/defense drone battery market — a clean tie-in to the U.S. domestic battery supply chain narrative.
\*\*Why YMAT specifically\*\*
Specialty chemicals microcap with a 2.4M float and a $10M market cap — exactly the kind of name that explodes on any U.S.-manufacturing or battery narrative. The $100M MoU number is \~10x the entire company's market cap, which is the type of headline that triggers retail FOMO regardless of how non-binding the deal actually is.
\*\*The numbers\*\*
\- Market cap: \~$10.3M (microcap)
\- Float: 2.4M shares
\- Day volume: 24.8M (18.5x the 30-day average of 1.34M)
\- Prev close: $0.241
\- Premarket high: +20% from prev close (the bulk of the move was intraday, not gap)
\- Short ratio: 0.21 (no meaningful short interest)
\- 52-week range: $0.235 – $6.45 (-92% from 52w high)
Volume turnover here is the headline: 24.8M shares traded on a 2.4M float means the float rotated \~10x in a single session. That's pure momentum/retail flow.
\*\*Signal timing\*\*
Stock Pulse sent me a push notification at 10:11 AM ET at $0.52. It peaked at $0.98 around 11:11 AM ET — exactly 1 hour later. +89% from the alert.
\*\*Bear case\*\*
\- Closed at $0.49 — full round-trip from peak. Anyone holding past 11:30 AM gave back the entire gain
\- "MoU" is non-binding — just a letter of intent to \*find\* PE partners, not a signed deal. Could go nowhere
\- DOE grant is \*applied for\*, not awarded
\- Solid-state batteries are notoriously hard — most projects in this space miss timelines and budgets
\- Microcap with 2.4M float means dilution risk is acute; a $100M raise (if it ever happens) would be massively dilutive
\- 92% below 52-week high implies prior pumps that didn't sustain

\*\*TL;DR:\*\* BRCGH just reported Q1 2026: $211M net income, $6.62 EPS, $255M net debt reduction in ONE quarter. This company went from near-insolvency to printing cash while shorts are still piled in. Classic squeeze setup with fundamental backing.
\---
\*\*📊 Q1 2026 Earnings — The Numbers\*\*
| Metric | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net Income | \*\*$211.3M\*\* | $(12.0M) |
| Basic EPS | \*\*$6.62\*\* | $(0.39) |
| Total Revenue | \*\*$352.1M\*\* | $186.1M |
| Op. Adj. EBITDA | \*\*$34.6M\*\* | $(5.6M) |
| Net Debt Paydown | \*\*$254.6M\*\* | — |
Let me say that again: they cut net debt by $255 million in 90 days. At this pace the debt thesis is dead by year-end.
\---
\*\*🏦 Balance Sheet Transformation\*\*
| Metric | Mar 31, 2026 | Dec 31, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Debt | $1.299B | $1.428B | ▼ $128.9M |
| Net Debt | $372.4M | $627.0M | ▼ $254.6M 🔥 |
| Stockholders' Equity | +$77.3M | -$171.5M | ▲ $248.8M 💚 |
| Total Investments | $705M | $520M | ▲ $184.6M |
The company flipped from negative equity to positive equity in one quarter. This is not hopium — this is the 10-Q.
\---
\*\*⚡ Why Shorts Are Trapped (The Squeeze Setup)\*\*
▸ \*\*High Short Interest (\~25%+ of float)\*\* — Bears built their thesis on "death by debt." That thesis just got nuked by a $255M net debt paydown in one quarter.
▸ \*\*Small float, \~31-35M shares\*\* — Not a mega-cap. A meaningful buying surge has outsized impact.
▸ \*\*Equity flipped: $(171.5M) → +$77.3M\*\* — Shorts who were playing balance sheet insolvency have to re-underwrite the entire thesis or cover.
▸ \*\*BRS + BRW merger catalyst\*\* — Combining B. Riley Securities and B. Riley Wealth (est. year-end, pending FINRA) simplifies structure and could re-rate the stock.
▸ \*\*Earnings call today at 4:30pm ET\*\* — Any positive debt guidance = forced covering.
▸ \*\*26th Annual Institutional Investor Conference later this month\*\* — Visibility event incoming.
\---
\*\*🎯 Core Bull Thesis\*\*
1. \*\*Debt destruction is real and accelerating.\*\* Net debt $627M → $372M in one quarter. Existential risk is rapidly evaporating.
2. \*\*Babcock & Wilcox optionality.\*\* $105M in investment gains this quarter driven by B&W appreciation. Merchant banking model creates asymmetric upside the market hasn't priced.
3. \*\*Capital markets franchise is alive.\*\* \~$10B in client capital raised Q1 2026, most active quarter in 5 years.
4. \*\*$11.9B AUM wealth platform\*\* provides a recurring revenue floor — $16M segment income this quarter alone.
5. \*\*Hidden cash generators.\*\* Lingo, magicJack, Marconi, UOL combined generated $12.6M income at 21% margins. Nobody talks about these.
\---
\*\*⚠️ Bear Case / Risks \*\*
Senior notes still at $1.17B (shrinking fast). Share dilution from bond-for-equity exchanges. Trading gains are lumpy — won't recur every quarter. FINRA approval needed for BRS/BRW merger. Macro sensitivity for small/mid cap advisory.
\---
The narrative was "RILY is going bankrupt." The Q1 2026 10-Q says otherwise. Shorts built a thesis on a balance sheet that no longer exists. They're holding a short on a company that just printed $211M net income and flipped to positive equity. How long before the cover trade hits?

Rackspace Technology (RXT) doubled at the open on Thursday after reporting Q1 2026 earnings and announcing an AMD partnership on governed enterprise AI infrastructure.
\*\*The catalyst\*\*
Q1 revenue came in at $678M, a slight beat on the $675M consensus and +2% YoY. EPS missed (non-GAAP loss of -$0.06 vs -$0.03 expected) but got overshadowed by the strategic news — Rackspace announced a Memorandum of Understanding with AMD around AI infrastructure for regulated industries. The market priced the AI pivot story over the EPS miss; shares peaked at +103% from prev close.
\*\*Why RXT specifically\*\*
RXT is a legacy cloud infrastructure provider that's been repositioning toward AI workloads — the AMD MoU plugs them directly into the AI-infrastructure narrative that's been bid up across the sector. Combine that with a high short interest (19.65% of float) and a sub-$600M market cap, and you get explosive single-day moves on any positive catalyst.
\*\*The numbers\*\*
\- Market cap: \~$566M
\- Float: 108.9M shares
\- Premarket high: +57% from prev close
\- Prev close: $2.27
\- Short ratio: 2.76
\- Short % of float: 19.65%
\- 52-week range: $0.39 – $2.74 (broke above 52-week high intraday)
\- Beta: 2.24
Premarket gap of 57% combined with \~20% short float — that's the textbook setup for the kind of squeeze that doubles a stock at the open.
\*\*Signal timing\*\*
Stock Pulse sent me a push notification at 8:39 AM ET (premarket) at $3.47. It peaked at $4.62 around 10:49 AM ET — about 2h 10m later. +33% from the alert. Note the stock was already up \~53% in premarket by the time the signal fired, so most of the daily move (peak +103% from prev close) happened overnight on the news.
\*\*Bear case\*\*
\- Faded hard from peak — closed at $3.41, essentially round-tripping the daily gain
\- EPS missed expectations; revenue beat was thin (+2% YoY)
\- "MoU" with AMD is non-binding — softer than a contracted partnership
\- AI pivot narrative could deflate if the AMD deal doesn't translate to actual revenue this year
\- Signal triggered post-premarket-spike — overnight gappers like this are notoriously hard to hold for the full move
