Fintel gathers flow and smart-money data that's otherwise hard for individuals to find.
1. Short data
See short interest, shares on loan and short ratio per ticker. Heavily shorted names are a reference point for possible short squeezes.
2. Institutional holdings and options flow
Track changes in institutional positions and large options trades to sense where big money is leaning.
3. Caveats
Flow data is lagging and contextual. High short interest doesn't guarantee direction — combine it with financials and charts. Some detailed data is paid.
