GameStop's FTD history from the SEC's public semimonthly file, charted over five years with a price overlay — plus current Reg SHO threshold-list status from NYSE. The data is hard. The popular interpretations (naked shorting, T+N cycles) are clearly attributed as community readings — never asserted by this page.
Settlement-date FTD records with selectable lookback (6M / 1Y / 2Y / 5Y / All) and a Shares / Notional toggle. Yahoo close overlay on the right axis lets you eyeball whether spikes coincide with price events.
Each row reads "an FTD balance of N shares was reported on settlement date S, traceable to trade date T". The Closing Deadline (T+35C) column shows the community-cited 35-calendar-day reference from trade date — labeled as a community reference because actual Reg SHO close-out timing is not a simple fixed cycle.
A binary current state — is GME on the NYSE Reg SHO threshold list right now? — plus the date ranges of all tracked appearances.
Options sweeps, FINRA short interest, off-exchange % trend, dark-pool blocks, and the full DRS / share-structure view — all together in the live terminal. Free during early access — no card required.
FTD data and threshold-list appearances are real regulatory information. The community interpretations attached to them are not the same thing.
A fail-to-deliver occurs when one party to a securities transaction doesn't deliver the security at settlement. Fails happen for many routine operational reasons — settlement timing, lent-share recalls, processing mismatches, issuer-related delays — not only short selling. The SEC publishes a semimonthly file of FTD quantities; the QUANTITY field is the cumulative net fails balance as of each settlement date, not new fails created that day.
No, not by themselves. Elevated FTDs are a real regulatory data point, but they are not, on their own, proof of naked short selling. We present the data and the math; the interpretation that spikes equal naked shorting is attributed as a community reading in the caveats.
It flags securities with sustained fails-to-deliver above regulatory thresholds for 5+ consecutive settlement days. Appearance triggers close-out obligations on broker-dealers. Published daily by the primary listing exchange (NYSE for GameStop). Appearance does not, by itself, prove naked shorting.
This is a community interpretation, not a regulatory mechanic this page asserts as fact. The community reading is that FTD spikes "must" close on a fixed T+N window and that threshold appearance forces buying. The actual close-out obligations under Reg SHO are real, but they are not a simple fixed-cycle mechanism. The data is here; the cyclical interpretation lives in the community.
