Short volume info

Enter your symbol in both.

There is a difference between short interest and short volume. Most pennylanders don't understand this. Short volume has nothing to do with shorts covering or opening, a short position.

Short volume is the amount of daily volume which is no cleared/settled at days end.

Short volume
Is used by day traders to see when to expect a Broker/dealers cover, before going naked short. Over 30% is strong fails to clear and a daily price pop may happen 3 days after.

Short interest is shareholders betting against positive price action in the underlying stock. Over 10% is strong negative sentiment.

Short interest
Is used to determine precentage of float which is held negative. To help swing traders know whether to expect a climb stall fight, by shorts.

Apples and Oranges

Welcome to my mind!

Success to all
