@MrMediocreGuy
apologies if reading too much into urs.... asx is daily.... not cumulative.... it never has a zero daily value nor a negative daily value, just a flexi gross daily figure. it is not a total figure. that is why it is deleted daily... it is dodgy.

shortman use the 'delayed' asic figures which show cumulative % of shorts..... but days later.
new lot just out.... 8.86% at 261M 07Jan22. https://asic.gov.au/Reports/Daily/2022/01/RR20220107-001-SSDailyAggShortPos.pdf

again, apologies if i misread urs.
