Sigh...... The daily short numbers are not in any way and indication of a short interest. In those numbers almost every long buy is marked as short due to when a market maker matches a trade they sell to the buyer first, then buy from the seller. Because the first leg of the trade is a short sell it is marked short in those numbers. Of course nobody has a short position other than the market maker for a minute as the trade is completed. This is really basic stuff I would suggest you get a grasp of what you are doing.
