4 months ago I downloaded the CVS data and examined it. It became clear that one of the vertical axis units is wrong, besides the fact that their labels are swapped. For example, when you add cell C11 to B12, you get the value in cell C12; -4.26 + 10.5 = 6.24 In other words, today’s GME dark pool short position is found by adding yesterday’s short position to today’s net short volume. Since the computation exactly matches the data that created the chart, both the net short volume and position data must be in the same units. Based on the bi-monthly “reported” short interest levels, it follows that both axis should be 1M $, and not 1k $.
The SPOS chart has several issues: 1) The NetShort Vol vertical access label should be on the right, and the Position axis label should be on the left to match the scales shown. 2) The Net Short Vol. axis units should indicated (1M $), not (1k $). 3) The Position (1M $ key at the upper-left is missing the ) at the end. 4) It would be better to provide an offset to the Position line, so that it starts at the starting short interest value, and not at 0.
