Short squeezes don't happen overnight.
The warning signs are in the data.

Most managers see the squeeze after it starts. By then the damage is done — and the cost of covering is 10x what it was a week ago.

Borrow Rate Spikes

When cost-to-borrow jumps from 5% to 80% in days, your position economics flip negative. Spot the inflection point early with daily fee tracking across brokers.

📉

Availability Collapses

Shares available to borrow dropping from millions to thousands is the clearest leading indicator of a squeeze. Track this before your prime broker calls.

📊

Short Interest Surges

When short interest ratio climbs above 20% and days-to-cover extends, the setup for a violent squeeze is complete. Know where you stand relative to the crowd.

🎯

Retail Momentum

Retail communities target heavily shorted stocks. When volume surges on a high-SI name, the feedback loop begins. Our data shows you who's in the crosshairs.

Whether you're defending or deploying, we have the data.

The same dataset powers both risk management and alpha generation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data sources do you use?
We source short interest data from FINRA (both daily short volume and bi-monthly short interest reports), combined with cost-to-borrow rates and share availability data from multiple broker feeds. All data covers major US exchanges — NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX.
How is this different from what my prime broker provides?
Prime brokers typically show you borrow availability and rates for your own accounts. We aggregate data across the broader market, letting you see the full picture — including how crowded a short is across all participants, how borrow conditions are trending over time, and where availability is collapsing. Think of it as market-level short intelligence on top of your broker-level data.
How often is the data updated?
Borrow fee and availability data is updated daily. FINRA short interest data is updated bi-monthly per FINRA's reporting schedule, and daily short volume data is available each trading day. All data is typically available by market open.
Can I access historical data for backtesting?
Yes. Depending on your plan, you get access to 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years of historical data on short interest, borrow rates, and share availability. This is useful for backtesting squeeze conditions, validating risk models, and understanding how past squeezes developed.
Do you offer an API for programmatic access?
We currently offer a web-based screener and charting interface. API access for automated data feeds and integration into risk systems is on our roadmap. Contact us if you're interested in early access.
Is this useful if I'm looking to initiate new short positions?
Absolutely. Use the screener to find stocks with low borrow costs, high share availability, and low short interest relative to float — these are the setups where holding a short position is cheapest and there's less risk of a crowded-trade squeeze. You can also cross-reference with dilution data on the Pro plan to strengthen your thesis.
