FINRA Short-Sale Volume — per-symbol short % (13k symbols, rolling 60 days)

Dataset · Financial Industry Regulatory Authority · primary source ↗

Per-symbol consolidated (CNMS) short-sale volume aggregated over a rolling ~60-trading-day window — 13,167 symbols. Per symbol: total short volume, total volume, window-weighted average short % of volume, latest-day short %, peak single-day short % + date. The 'how heavily shorted' signal; pairs with SEC fails-to-deliver by symbol to complete the short-selling picture. IMPORTANT caveat exposed in every response: FINRA short volume includes bona-fide market-maker hedging and is NOT short interest — high percentages are common and routine.
