- What does the dark pool short volume ratio measure?
- FINRA publishes daily short sale volume for trades reported off-exchange to its trade reporting facilities, which include dark pools and other off-exchange venues. The ratio divides FINRA's ShortVolume figure, which counts both short and short-exempt sales, by the total off-exchange shares reported for that day. It is not short interest and not a directional signal: market-maker hedging and reporting mechanics can raise it, so it is context for other signals.
