Known issues
- short interest runs from 2018 with exchange-listed names covered from the start; short volume daily runs from 2019. (WAREHOUSE, Gaps and freshness that matter)
- Short volume has a hole. From about 2026-02-20 to 2026-05-15, short volume daily holds only about 2,700 small symbols a day: AAPL, KO, JPM and SPY have no rows in March or April 2026. A "past year" average is over 192 sessions, not about 250; the page says how many. (ACCURACY, Found while building the stock page sections (2026-10-09))
- Daily short volume is not the short position; say so next to it. (GAPS, 4. Short volume and eight years of short interest (score 4.0))
