What is short selling?
Short selling (Sell Short) means that investors in the securities market borrow a large number of securities and sell them at high prices when the prices of securities are soaring, and then buy them back at a low price and return the borrowed securities at a low price in the future, so as to make a profit from it.
How to use short selling data to assist investment decisions?
I. use the scene
Short selling data is one of the important indicators to analyze individual stocks, which can assist investors to analyze the market sentiment and possible performance of a stock. Bulls who like to be long can track short selling data and avoid stocks whose share prices may have a downward trend; cattle friends who are interested in short selling can find stocks with an excessive proportion of short selling and find investment opportunities.
Second, understand the data indicators of short selling
Daily short selling quantity:The number of shares sold short each day on the open market.
* Daily short selling data are provided by major exchanges and are generally updated once a day.
Number of short positions:The number of shares in which the stock was shorted and outstanding at the closing date.
Short position ratio:Number of short positions / total equity
* the data of short positions need to be calculated through the settlement statistics of the exchange and are generally updated once every half a month.
Third, judge market sentiment according to short selling data indicators and assist decision-making.
1. Short selling reflects investors' judgment on the future stock price to a certain extent.
The volume of short selling of a stock is high, which reflectsInvestors are bearish on the future share price of the stock.If the short-selling volume of a stock rises sharply, the stock has a good chance of falling in the short term.

In addition to the quantity of short selling, it can also be combined with the analysis of the proportion of short selling. If the number of short selling of a stock increases, but the proportion of short selling does not change much, it may not be of significant significance. If the proportion of short selling transactions continues to rise, the share price will be more likely to fall.
two。 The change in the number of short positions reflects the bearish sentiment in the market.
The large number of short positions means that the current short positions are depressing share prices, which are more likely to fall; conversely, a much smaller number of short positions means that short positions are buying stocks to close, which could further stimulate share prices to rise.
As shown in the following figure, the stock price trend is negatively correlated with the proportion of short positions, but the correlation is not inevitable, because there are so many factors that affect the stock price, we can not judge the stock price trend only by a certain index.If the proportion of short selling of individual stocks is too high and prices continue to rise for various reasons, short sellers have to buy back stocks at a high price.
