Squeeze / low float

Min tier Free

A ranking of likeliest short-squeeze candidates — float, FTD, DPI and momentum.

📋 What it contains

A description of the squeeze method at the top (short pressure + breakout), then a sortable candidate table with Squeeze Score, FTD trend, DPI and interpretation. Note: the page admits it has no true short interest — it is a low-float screener.

🎯 How to use (step by step)

Sort by Squeeze Score descending; top 5 = strongest. · Avoid micro-caps (<$500M, illiquid). · Look for Float Ratio >30% + positive 1-month momentum.

💰 What you get

You find "powder keg" stocks before they pop using 4 indicators at once.

⚠ The figures in the card below are a BACKTEST, not live results
The return, index outperformance, profit factor and win rate in the "Squeeze Breakout" card come from a 2020-2026 historical simulation over 65 trades. Live tracking has not closed a single trade yet — collection started 2026-06-08 (249 open detections) and the first closed results cannot exist before early August 2026, because the pattern holds for up to 60 days. Until then there is no live evidence — only the backtest, on a small sample with a −63% drawdown.
Note: two different signals on one page. The "Squeeze Breakout" card and the ranking below are two separate calculations. The ranking uses its own heuristic (FTD + short interest + off-exchange volume + momentum) that is neither backtested nor tracked and has no measured success rate. The figures in the card above say nothing about the ranking below.
🔥Overlap: high short volume + price breakout
The card shows stocks where two things coincide: a high share of off-exchange short volume and a price that rose more than 20% over 20 days. Such an overlap is often associated with pressure to cover shorts, but it guarantees nothing and does not forecast price. This is short VOLUME, not real short interest.
📡 Current detections
No stock currently meets both conditions (high short volume + breakout).
📈 A live record is being built: every detection is tracked for 60 days out-of-sample.

📊 Short-Interest Pressure Monitor

A descriptive ranking of stocks by short-side pressure indicators — combines FTD trend (FINRA RegSHO failure-to-deliver), off-exchange DPI, short interest, days to cover, liquidity, historical volatility and relative volume. A higher score means more observed pressure conditions are present; it does not estimate the probability or direction of a future price move. Updated daily. An analytical tool, not a trade instruction.

💡
What is a short squeeze: Mechanics: when a heavily-shorted stock starts rising, short positions tend to be closed by buying back → a temporary demand increase. FTD (failure-to-deliver, FINRA) describes failed deliveries; the data lag 5–30 days. This is descriptive context, not an estimate of the probability or direction of a future move.

⚠️ Analytical tool. QMA is not a registered investment advisor. Squeeze Score is a heuristic based on historical patterns — not a guarantee of future movement. Sources lag: FTD (FINRA) ~5–30 days, short interest ~30–60 days, off-exchange volume ~1–14 days — this is not real-time data. Short squeeze trades are highly risky (volatility, losses). Not investment advice.
