About ShortInterest.au

ASIC publishes short position reports (T+4). The raw CSVs are cumbersome, so we transform them into concise pages and charts, and we label the T+4 lag clearly throughout the site. ASX also releases gross short sale volumes the next business day (T+1), which we pair alongside the T+4 feed for a faster look at market pressure.

Data sources & labelling

What each label means:

• ASIC short interest (T+4): Outstanding short positions aggregated by holder. Four-business-day lag. Shown as a percent of shares on issue so you can compare across tickers.
• ASX gross short sales (% of issued capital, T+1): Yesterday's gross short sales, reported as a percent of issued capital. Shows flow, not total open shorts.
• How to use them together: T+1 flags fresh pressure quickly, while T+4 shows the later outstanding-position reading. They are related but not like-for-like measures.

Each page calls out which feed you are looking at, so you can pair the faster T+1 flow snapshot with the T+4 outstanding short-interest view.

What this site is not

Not a trading signal and not financial advice. It’s an educational companion for understanding how short interest evolves for ASX‑listed companies.
