Was your purchase on the 8th short covering? I doubt it. so I suspect the numbers dont count short initiation and covering trades combined. on the day of your example maybe all the shares you bot were sold short on the other side of the trade.
I'm gonna call FINRA and try to figure this out. perhaps once we understand the data better we can figure out a way to use it to our advantage.
