Sorry but just because you do not understand what those numbers are, does not make them what you think they are. Daily short numbers have nothing to do with short positions. Don't believe me though, you can even talk to the people who put them out (FINRA) and they will tell you that. When a trade is matched by a market maker if they sell to the buyer first in the matched trade it is marked as a short sale as the first leg is what gets marked. So pretty much a huge portion of regular long trades are marked as short which means the numbers have basically zero relation to short positions.
