Retail Traders Pile Into $ACXP After Real-Time Alert From GRANDMASTER-OBI on Reddit
Former WallStreetBets moderator posts alerts publicly in r/Grandmaster-obi as community growth accelerates
Retail trading communities were once again sent into a wave of speculation and momentum activity this week after GRANDMASTER-OBI, a former WallStreetBets moderator, posted a live stock alert in his public subreddit r/grandmaster-obi.
The alert centered around Acurx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ACXP.US), a small-cap biotechnology company that quickly became the focus of attention among retail traders following the post.
According to the alert shared publicly on Reddit, GRANDMASTER-OBI called ACXP on March 10, 2026, at an entry price of approximately $2.32.

Less than twenty-four hours later, the stock surged sharply.
By March 11, 2026, ACXP reached a high of approximately $5.67, representing a move of roughly +144% from the original alert price.
The move immediately sparked discussion across trading forums, as many Reddit users had previously questioned whether the alerts shared inside Obi’s private trading community were posted in real time.
Now, with alerts appearing publicly on Reddit before the moves occur, the conversation has shifted.
Reddit Demanded Transparency — Now the Alerts Are Public
For months, critics inside Reddit trading circles claimed that Grandmaster-Obi’s alerts inside the Making Easy Money Discord could not be independently verified.

The criticism became a recurring theme in trading threads.
Some users accused him of posting alerts only after the moves had already begun.
In response, Obi made a notable shift.
Instead of limiting alerts to his private community, he began posting them publicly inside r/grandmaster-obi, allowing traders across Reddit to watch the calls unfold in real time.
The ACXP trade quickly became the first widely discussed example of this new approach.
Within hours of the alert appearing on Reddit, the stock began trending among retail traders monitoring low-float pharmaceutical names.
Could Public Alerts Trigger a “Roaring Kitty Effect”?
Some traders now speculate that posting alerts publicly could amplify their reach in a way similar to the early days of the GameStop ($GME) movement.
During the 2021 meme-stock era, Roaring Kitty’s posts on Reddit helped ignite massive interest in GameStop, ultimately drawing millions of traders into the trade.
The difference today is speed.
Information spreads significantly faster across trading platforms, social media, and broker communities than it did during the early stages of the GameStop rally.
By posting alerts directly on Reddit, GRANDMASTER-OBI’s calls now have the potential to reach far more traders than just members of the Making Easy Money Discord.
Some retail traders believe this could amplify the impact of momentum alerts in smaller stocks where liquidity is limited.
The Role of the Making Easy Money Discord
While alerts are now appearing publicly on Reddit, the Making Easy Money Discord remains the central hub of the trading community built around Obi’s analysis.
Members inside the Discord say the platform provides advantages that go beyond simply receiving alerts.
Inside the server, traders can:
• Discuss setups in real time
• Share Level II observations and order flow data
• Ask questions directly to Obi during trading hours
• Identify additional opportunities within the community
This real-time interaction has become one of the main reasons the Discord continues to grow rapidly.
As more traders discover the alerts and discussions taking place within the community, the server has expanded quickly in recent months.
The $RGC Trade That Sparked the Comparisons
Much of the attention surrounding Grandmaster-Obi stems from one trade that continues to circulate widely among retail traders: Regencell Bioscience ($RGC).
Inside his trading community, Obi alerted $RGC on March 13, 2025, at approximately $6.50.
At the time, the stock had very little media attention and was not trending across major trading platforms.
Over the following months, however, the stock experienced one of the most dramatic rallies in recent small-cap history.
By June 2, 2025, $RGC surged to approximately $950, representing a staggering gain of roughly +14,500% from the alert price.
The move occurred largely without the level of mainstream coverage that surrounded the GameStop phenomenon.
For many traders, this distinction became the basis for comparisons between Obi’s trading style and the viral GameStop rally.

While GameStop’s momentum was fueled by widespread media attention and millions of retail traders, supporters argue that the $RGC move was identified much earlier in the cycle before the broader market took notice.
The TCGL Move and Subsequent SEC Trading Suspension
Another trade frequently cited by traders following the community involved TechCreate Group (TCGL.US).
Inside the MEM Discord, Grandmaster-Obi alerted TCGL on January 29, 2026, at approximately $11.55.
In the hours and days that followed, the stock staged an extraordinary rally.
According to trading data and community reports, TCGL surged to an intraday high near $457.64, representing an approximate +3,860% gain at the peak.
Even without using the most extreme intraday price, publicly available market data showed that TCGL had already climbed sharply, closing near $172.84 before regulators intervened.
On February 1, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order suspending trading in TechCreate Group Ltd.
The order referenced “unknown persons” encouraging investors to buy or sell the stock and sharing screenshots of trades.
Importantly, the suspension order did not name specific individuals, Discord communities, or social-media accounts, and there has been no indication that Obi or the Making Easy Money community were directly targeted.
Rapid Growth Forces Expansion of Moderation Teams
The surge in attention surrounding the ACXP alert and previous trades has also accelerated growth within both r/grandmaster-obi and the Making Easy Money Discord.
According to community posts, Grandmaster-Obi is currently seeking additional moderators to help manage the expanding platforms.
The move reflects the increasing demand from traders who want to follow alerts, discuss setups, and monitor momentum stocks together.
Moderators would assist with:
• Managing discussions within the subreddit
• Organizing trading threads
• Helping oversee the Discord community
• Maintaining order as membership continues to expand
A New Chapter for Retail Trading Communities
Retail trading communities have evolved significantly since the meme-stock era.
Where early groups often focused on viral narratives, many modern trading communities emphasize real-time data, liquidity analysis, and momentum detection.
Whether the recent surge in attention around ACXP becomes another defining moment remains to be seen.
But one thing is clear.
By posting alerts publicly on Reddit, Grandmaster-Obi has effectively removed the debate about transparency.
Now traders can watch the calls unfold live.
And as both r/grandmaster-obi and the Making Easy Money Discord continue to expand, the broader retail trading world will be watching closely to see what happens next.
