How it works

Short interest meets VB data

High short float alone is not an edge. The scanner adds VB context to help you time entries and avoid falling knives.

01

Short interest identification

See short interest as a percentage of float and days to cover for every symbol. Filter for stocks above 15%, 20%, or any threshold you choose. Data updates daily from exchange reporting.

02

VB model overlay

Heavily shorted stocks that also have an active VB setup represent a confluence signal. The scanner shows you which high-short-interest names are also at volatility extremes with scored entries.

03

Squeeze candidate filtering

Stack filters for short interest, Market Pulse stage, VB setup status, and conviction score. When a heavily shorted stock enters Accumulation with a high-conviction VB long setup, that is a squeeze candidate worth watching.


Confluence

How short interest + Market Pulse creates edge

A stock with 25% short interest in Distribution stage is still trending down. Shorts are winning. Buying it because the float is heavily shorted is a recipe for a falling knife trade.

That same stock in Accumulation stage is a different story. The trend is bottoming, shorts are getting comfortable, and a reversal would force rapid covering. Market Pulse context turns raw short data into timing information.

Sector View

See where shorts are concentrated

Filter by sector to see which industries have the highest concentration of short positioning. When an entire sector is heavily shorted, a sector rotation into that group can trigger broad short covering.

Combine sector filtering with Market Pulse data to find groups where the trend is shifting. A sector moving from Distribution to Accumulation with high aggregate short interest is worth monitoring closely.

Capabilities

Everything in one scanner

Short Float Data

Short interest as a percentage of float for all 600+ symbols. Updated daily from exchange reporting. Filter by minimum threshold to focus on heavily shorted names.

Days to Cover

Short interest divided by average daily volume. When days to cover exceeds 5, shorts are trapped and cannot exit easily without pushing price higher.

VB Setup Overlay

See which heavily shorted stocks also have active VB model setups. When short interest meets a scored entry with a stop and target, you have a complete trade plan.

Sector Breakdown

Filter by any of 11 sectors to find where short positioning is concentrated. Identify sector-level squeeze opportunities when entire groups begin to reverse.
