Real-Time Positioning Tracking
Ortex provides an intraday short-interest time series that updates throughout the trading session, allowing investors to see positioning build and unwind in near-real time. Unlike the daily snapshot, this series resets each morning and adjusts as soon as market data indicates a change in short interest.
Strategic Use Cases
This data is essential for intraday short-squeeze monitoring, sentiment analysis, and risk management. By tracking the number of shares short (siShares) and the percentage of free float (siPctFreeFloat) in effect over specific intervals, traders can time their entries and exits more effectively. This granular view is particularly valuable during periods of high volatility where the stale bi-monthly exchange data is insufficient for making informed decisions.
