Reg SHO Threshold List

API Enterprise

A security goes on a Reg SHO threshold list when fails to deliver in it stay large (at least 10,000 shares and 0.5% of shares outstanding) for five consecutive settlement days. US venues publish their lists every trading evening. A long stay on the list signals persistent settlement stress, and after 13 consecutive settlement days Reg SHO requires brokers to close out the fails.

One request returns every US listing for a single list date, each carrying the full instrument-identity block.

A snapshot reports the latest list dated on or before the requested date (today if omitted), and every row's date says which list that is.

Consecutive days counts the list dates in a row, up to and including this one, that the listing was on the list, including days before your window. It is zero when the listing is off the list.

The universe is point in time: a historical date includes listings delisted since.

US listings only: region=US and region=ALL return the same rows, and any region without US listings is rejected with a message saying so.
