Squeeze
Periodic alerts on high borrow-fee, high short-interest small caps with a Squeeze Factor score.
The Squeeze Scanner scans the market for stocks that look primed for a short squeeze — expensive to borrow, heavily shorted, and moving on the day. Each alert includes a Squeeze Factor (SSF) score from 0–100 summarizing how “squeeze-y” the setup looks.

What the metrics mean:
- Borrow Fee — cost to borrow shares for shorting; very high fees mean shares are hard to get
- Short % — percent of float sold short; higher = more potential fuel for a squeeze
- Short DTC — days to cover; how long shorts would need to buy back at average volume
- Rel. Vol. — today’s volume vs. normal
- SSF Score — TrendVision’s composite squeeze score (borrow, SI, float, recent spikes, social mentions, and more)

Premium custom scanners can add:
| Filter | Example |
|---|---|
| Min SSF | Only scores ≥ 70 or 80 |
| Min / max price | e.g. $1 – $20 |
| Min / max market cap | Focus on your cap range |
| Require active | Only tickers already “in play” today |
Presets: Hot (SSF ≥ 80) and Warm (SSF ≥ 60).
The Squeeze Scanner is not part of the All-in-One feed, but custom scanners and server webhooks deliver the full embed.
When it runs
- Extended market hours: 4:00 AM – 8:00 PM ET, Monday–Friday
- Does not run on weekends or US market holidays
Why traders use it
- Screen the market for squeeze fuel — high borrow cost, heavy short interest, and tight float — without building your own screener.
- The SSF score ranks setups so you can focus on the hottest names first.
- Combine with Volume and Zero Borrow when a name transitions from setup to active move.

Notes
- SSF is a setup score, not a buy signal — always check price action and liquidity yourself
