Response below to your T-Trade inquiry.

In the OTC, after hours Form T trades are almost without exception "late prints". They are the result of accumulated buys or sells handled on a "not held" basis through block desks. They have nothing to do with short selling in particular, but with buying and selling in general.

At the end of the day, the market maker handling the order will place a T-trade print on the tape for an accumulated total at the average price at which the shares were sold if there was still a balance left to sell. If the entire order had been completed during trading hours, the print will go on the tape normally.

You can pretty much tell whether the Form T trades are from large block buyers are sellers by looking at the price at which the trade was entered. If it is at the lower end of the day's price range, and the stock had been under pressure that day, it was probably from a seller. By the same token, if it was printed at the higher end of the range and the stock had been strong that day, it was likely to have been from a buyer. This rule is not absolute, however.

Always have a trading plan in place. Avoid the noise on the boards and focus on protecting capital and following your trading plan.
