NOTES ON DATA
Data on this site is sourced from ASIC and other third party data providers. The short sales data is reliant on accurate report submissions by individual sellers. While ASIC monitors the compliance of reporting, there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy of these individual reports. The ASIC data is published 4 trading days after reported (T+4), so graphs on this site will be dated at least 4 trading days ago. If no position is reported for a particular stock, this site assumes zero shorted stocks.
Data on this site is updated after it is published by ASIC. The times this site updates data are:
- ASIC data (graphed shorting data) is not published by ASIC at a consistent scheduled time. This site will attempt to automatically update ASIC data shortly after it becomes available
- The overall market graph is updated approximately 3am (Tuesday to Saturday)
The data on this site relies entirely on third party data sources and can not be guaranteed. It should not be used for the basis of any financial decisions.
If its the 6th most shorted its because a market that bans naked shorts has bugger all in a short position overall. 510k short is bugger all.
