Integrated Short-Side Screening
Tracking short activity requires a multi-faceted approach that combines long-term positioning with short-term flow. InfoLib's market dashboard allows users to look up a ticker and retrieve both the most recent consolidated short interest record and the latest Reg SHO daily short volume report. This integration is essential for researchers who need to compare the broader context of a stock's short interest against the immediate pressure observed in a single trading session.
Why Context Matters
By viewing these datasets side-by-side, analysts can determine if a spike in daily short volume is part of a larger trend of increasing short interest or if it represents a temporary fluctuation. The dashboard provides key metrics such as shares short, short percentage of float, and days-to-cover, which are vital for identifying stocks with high squeeze potential. This consolidated view simplifies the screening process, allowing for faster identification of stocks where short sellers are actively increasing their exposure or where borrow availability is tightening.
