What is Short Extremes Short Score?
Short Extremes Short Score is a ranked table of stocks by Short Score. On EZPZ the live page title is Short Extremes. Rank starts at 1. Each row is one Symbol with Utilization, Official Short Interest %, Day To Cover, and Cost To Borrow. It is a rank, not a squeeze list.
Short Score is the default sort, shown as a percent. Rank 1 is the highest Short Score among names that cleared Short Interest Above, Market Cap Above, Average Volume Above, and Relative Volume Above. Utilization, Official Short Interest %, Day To Cover, and Cost To Borrow sit on the same row. Price Change%(1W) and Price Change%(3m) print green when the name is up and red when it is down. EPS 12mFwd Change, Market Cap, Upside TP %, Availability, Number of Analysts, EMA 200 %, and Gamma Squeeze Score (%) start on. The screenshot ranks BTC first at Short Score 100% with Utilization 100%, Official Short Interest % 29%, Day To Cover 1, and Cost To Borrow 623%. DAIC sits second at Short Score 100% with Official Short Interest % 32% and Cost To Borrow 705%. NWGL prints Cost To Borrow 1173% and still sits fifth because Short Score is the sort. Gamma Squeeze Score (%) is a dash on those rows. None of those cells is a fill.
On EZPZ, the live page title is Short Extremes. The Learn title is ShortEx. Search Symbol, The Latest Date, Apply, Reset, and Filter Columns sit on the first row. Short Interest Above starts at 0%. Market Cap Above starts at 0. Average Volume Above starts at 0M. Relative Volume Above starts at 0%. Optionable starts off. Click a Symbol to open that ticker's Short Interest page. Short Interest is the one-ticker history after you already picked a name. Short Interest Leaderboard ranks many names from Official Short Interest %, starting at 8%, 5M, and 1M. Short Volume is the daily short-sale share of volume, not Short Score. Short Volume Trends charts that daily percent over time. Exchange Volume Leaderboard ranks off-exchange share of volume, not short interest. Exchange Volume is the venue mix for one ticker. Gamma Short Squeeze is Squeeze Score(%) next to Gamma Pressure and Short Interest(%). Ticker Explorer is the one-symbol dashboard after you already picked a name.
How ShortEx works on EZPZ
Start at Rank 1 on Short Score, then read Utilization, Official Short Interest %, Day To Cover, and Cost To Borrow on the same row. It is not a score you trade. Type a ticker in Search Symbol and click Apply when you already have a name. Open Filter Columns if you want Call ITM, Put/Call Ratio, Gamma Pressure, or Date. Reset puts the sliders back to 0%, 0, 0M, and 0%. Do not treat BTC as a default thesis.
How this differs from Short Interest Leaderboard
Short Interest Leaderboard ranks Official Short Interest %. Its sliders start at Official Short Interest Above 8%, Market Cap Above 5M, and Average Volume Above 1M. This page ranks Short Score. Its sliders start at 0%, 0, 0M, and 0%. Use the leaderboard when you want Official Short Interest %, Borrow Rate %, FTDs %, and Utilization on an official percent board. Use this page when you want Short Score next to Cost To Borrow, Upside TP %, EMA 200 %, and Gamma Squeeze Score (%). Short Interest is one ticker you already have in mind. Use Short Interest when you want Official Short Position Trend and Historical Data for one Symbol. Use this page when you want many names at once. Short Volume is daily short sales versus total volume. Short Volume Trends is that series over time. Neither is Short Score. Exchange Volume Leaderboard ranks off-exchange share of volume. Exchange Volume is venue mix for one ticker. Gamma Short Squeeze is Squeeze Score(%) next to Gamma Pressure. Use that page when you want options gamma as the rank key. Use this page when you want Short Score as the rank key, with Gamma Squeeze Score (%) as a column you can leave on. Use Ticker Explorer after you already picked a symbol.

How people actually use it
Start on Short Score
Leave the sort on Short Score first, as in the screenshot with BTC at 100%. Click Day To Cover or Cost To Borrow when you want a different rank of the same names.
Watch the color on price
Red Price Change%(1W) is a down week. Green is an up week. BTC at -23.18% is not the same row as DAIC at 94.85%.
Raise the 0% floors
Short Interest Above, Market Cap Above, Average Volume Above, and Relative Volume Above all start at zero. Move them up if the first page is too thin.
