Short squeeze research // positioning, not predictions
Short squeeze research, without the sign-up wall
Short interest, days to cover, short volume and the Reg SHO threshold list are public data. The sites charging for them are charging for packaging. Everything below is free, carries the date of the data it shows, and measures positioning rather than predicting squeezes, because the honest version of this page cannot do the second thing.

The most crowded liquid shorts by days to cover, against their own 52-week ranges. Prices as of 2026-08-07; short interest settled 2026-07-15. Fuel, not ignition. Full boards →
Every Nasdaq and NYSE-family security with persistent settlement failures under Reg SHO Rule 203, as of 2026-08-07: 93securities. Some sites sell this per-ticker as a “naked short selling list”. It is a delivery-failure list, the whole thing is public, and here it is.
It will not rank “squeeze candidates” with a proprietary score, because a blended score cannot be explained in a sentence and the inputs here do not support predictions. It will not show short interest as a percent of float, because float share counts are not published by any free source and a free “float” is somebody else’s estimate relabelled. And it will not put a freshness badge next to a number the badge does not describe: short interest is biweekly and 9 to 26 days old by nature, and every figure here carries its own date. Educational information, not investment advice. The methodology, in full.
Short squeeze FAQ
What is a short squeeze?
A rapid price rise that forces short sellers to buy shares back to cap their losses, which adds more buying pressure and pushes the price further. High short interest and high days to cover describe the fuel. They do not predict the spark, and none of the tools here claims to.
Is any of this gated or paid?
No. Short interest, days to cover, short volume and the threshold list are public data published by FINRA, Nasdaq and NYSE. Sites that charge for them are charging for packaging. Every page here is free, without an account, and states the date of the data it shows.
What is the Reg SHO threshold list?
The daily list of securities with persistent settlement failures: aggregate fails-to-deliver of at least 10,000 shares and 0.5 percent of shares outstanding for five consecutive settlement days. Some sites call it a naked short selling list. That is one story about delivery failures, not what the list measures, so we use the regulatory name.
Why do your numbers sometimes disagree with other short interest sites?
Usually days to cover. FINRA floors its published figure at 1.00, and over a third of all securities sit at that floor while genuinely being lower, so we compute the true ratio from FINRA’s own shares short and average volume. Sites that republish the floored field read high; sites that pick their own volume window read differently again.
