“The Reliable” – FINRA Equity Short Interest Data

The most accurate measure of short selling is the data reported by all broker-dealers to FINRA on a bi-weekly basis. These numbers reflect the total number of shares in the security sold short, i.e. the sum of all firm and customer accounts that have short positions.

Are you saying that there is no way to actually track short interest? Or just that FINRA and OTC don't do it correctly?

I don't think this is correct:

Anything on the OTC is largely voluntary,

https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/finra-rules/4560
https://www.finra.org/filing-reporting/short-interest/regulation-filing-applications-instructions

Rule 4560 is required for all members, and applies to the OTC as well as the major exchanges.

Can you point me to information that would say otherwise?
