Overview
Plain-language explainers of the data, metrics and market concepts behind the ORTEX platform — what each number means, where it comes from, and how to read it.
The ORTEX Data Guides explain the data, metrics and market concepts behind the ORTEX platform in plain language — what each number means, where it comes from, and how to read it. They're written as reference and education, not investment advice.
Short Interest
How much of a stock has been sold short — the metrics ORTEX publishes, and the patchwork of official reporting behind them.
- Short Interest Metrics Explained — what each ORTEX short interest metric means and how to interpret it, from Estimated Short Interest and Days to Cover to Cost to Borrow and Short Score.
- How Short Interest Is Reported Around the World — why no market publishes complete, real-time short interest, and how the two global reporting systems shape the data.
Dividends
Dividend declarations as companies announce them, and ORTEX forecasts of every future dividend.
- Dividend Forecasts Explained: what a forecast is, what the probabilities mean, where the declarations come from, and how the scorecard measures accuracy.
More to come
This library is being built out into a full set of explainers across ORTEX's datasets. Check back as new topics are added.
