>The Daily Short Sale Volume Files provide aggregated volume by security for all short sale trades executed and reported to a TRF, the ADF, or the ORF during normal market hours for public dissemination purposes (i.e., media-reported trades). There are individual files for the volume associated with trades reported to each TRF (FINRA/Nasdaq Chicago, FINRA/Nasdaq Carteret, FINRA/NYSE), the ADF, and the ORF. There is also a file entitled "Consolidated TRF/ADF Daily Short Sale Volume Files," which combines the volume for trades in exchange-listed securities reported to the TRFs and the ADF.

1. FINRA Consolidated NMS
Out of a total volume of 18257999, 6587323 was short volume (approximately 36.1%)
2. FINRA/NASDAQ TRF Chicago
Out of a total volume of 283950, 152892 was short volume (approximately 53.8%)
3. FINRA/NASDAQ TRF Carteret
Out of a total volume of 12958191, 4491996 was short volume (approximately 34.7%)
4. FINRA/NYSE TRF
Out of a total volume of 5015858, 1942435 was short volume (approximately 38.7%)

The decrease in short sale volume from the 50-60% range observed on Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday (I didn’t make a thread for yesterday, but I did parse the data; you can check for yourself if you don’t believe me) can be explained by GME’s inclusion on the Short Sale Restriction List for today (ftp://ftp.nyxdata.com/NYSEGroupSSRCircuitBreakers/NYSEGroupSSRCircuitBreakers_2021/NYSEGroupSSRCircuitBreakers_202102/). This will no longer be in effect tomorrow.

I once again direct you to these threads:

They provide good explanations for why naked selling is likely being employed in GME’s case, with the high number of FTDs for said stock being the cherry on top. The Short Sale Restriction does not apply to naked selling. Also note that https://www.sec.gov/data/foiadocsfailsdatahtm still hasn’t updated the FTD data for the second half of January, even though we are ten days into February.

We saw some unusual—and dare I say unnatural—price movement today. GME peaked at $61.50 (+22.24%) before closing at $51.20 (1.77%) and ending AH at $49.90 (-2.54%). Something similar happened yesterday, where we saw a roughly +10% spike in AH (in contrast to the diminutive price movement during market hours) before it shot back down to “normal”. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t seem to me like this is ordinary behavior.

Tell me the truth, how much did you lose?

I'm in at 38.41, so I'm still in the green. I will admit that I was up 390k at one point but I was asleep so I missed it; I could, however, have sold when I was up 275k two Fridays ago but I didn't. Perhaps I should've taken profits, but I didn't expect this sudden downturn. I do still believe this isn't over, and I'm not gambling with my life savings, my student loans, or anything like that, so I can afford to wait it out. And I will.

Thank you for your honesty OP. Also, thanks for the information. I'm in a similar boat. Guess I'll just be patient.

No problem.
