“again, you are assuming fair play. “

I am not assuming anything. This has nothing to do with “fair play”.

It is about how the system actually operates.

I will use the same analogy…

Hiding a short position is as impossible as hiding a withdrawal from your bank account from your bank.

I could go into a lot of detail of why this is, but to over simply put it, once a sale is executed as an initial leg it creates a debit at NSCC until the offsetting leg is executed. That has NOTHING to do with reporting or rules. It is how the system operates.
