SI % Float

What % of tradeable shares are sold short. At 80%+ almost every available share is borrowed and sold — when shorts need to buy back there's almost nothing to buy, forcing the price up. ≥20% to qualify, ≥50% = RED zone.

Days to Cover (DTC)

At normal daily volume, how many days would it take all shorts to exit? DTC of 4 means shorts cannot cover without moving the market for 4 straight days. ≥3 to qualify, ≥5 = RED zone — the higher, the more trapped they are.

Vol vs Avg

Today's volume compared to the 30-day average. 1.5× means 50% more trading than usual — signals unusual buying interest. A rising Vol vs Avg while price holds or climbs is an early sign that squeeze pressure is building.

RSI (40–80 target)

Momentum indicator (0–100). The scan deliberately targets 40–80: the stock has momentum but hasn't become overbought yet. Squeezes starting from this zone have more room to run than ones already at 80+.

Squeeze Score (0–100)

Composite score combining SI%, DTC, volume surge, and RSI position. Use it to rank candidates — not as a trigger. 40–65 = moderate, 65–80 = strong, 80+ = extreme setup.

Status: RED vs standard

RED = SI ≥ 50% of float OR DTC ≥ 5 — the highest squeeze risk tier. Standard candidates still qualify but have less extreme short positioning. Always check the chart before acting; short data is 2–4 weeks delayed.
