CME Short Squeeze Score: 0 / 100
CME ranked on Tapeboard's 0-100 short squeeze leaderboard · components disclosed below · methodology fully published · score as of Oct 23, 2026
The number on this page is the score as of Oct 23, 2026, the most recent session when this page was rebuilt. Short interest re-settles every two weeks and CME's borrow fee can spike intraday. Tapeboard re-scores CME every day after the market close, ranks it against the full live squeeze board, and pairs it with a real-time scanner and watchlist, so you catch the setup changing, not a snapshot.

How CME got to 0 / 100
Since setup v5 (2026-09-28), a stock is ranked only if its short interest is at least 15% of float. Since setup v6 (2026-10-07), ranked names are scored 0-100 on 20-day volatility with the single largest daily move excluded (60%), 5-day float rotation (20%) and last-session relative volume (20%), each as a percentile among the gated names. A higher score means higher historical odds of a large move in either direction; it is not a directional call. The inputs below (short interest, borrow fee, float utilization, days to cover, momentum, short-volume ratio, fee change) are shown for context at zero weight.
| INPUT (CONTEXT, WEIGHT 0) | VALUE |
|---|---|
| SI %Float | 1.7% @ Sep 30, 2026 |
| Borrow Fee | - |
| Float Utilization | 1.7% |
| Days to Cover | 2.7 |
| 5-Day Momentum | +5.71% |

CME 30-day borrow fee and short interest trend
Trailing-30-day series of two of the highest-signal squeeze inputs for CME, the borrow fee (cost to short the stock) and short interest as a percentage of float. Free per-ticker borrow-fee history is not published by Fintel or Ortex on their public pages.
Insufficient history, CME has fewer than 5 days of squeeze-score data on file. Sparkline returns once the daily ingest accumulates a full 30-day window (typically 2-3 weeks for newly-listed or newly-shorted tickers).
How the score is calculated
Tapeboard's short squeeze score (setup v6) gates on short interest of at least 15% of float (FINRA settlement, point-in-time and split-safe), then ranks by 60% 20-day volatility percentile (single largest daily move excluded) + 20% 5-day float-rotation percentile + 20% last-session relative-volume percentile. Out of sample, the top 10 moved +20% within five sessions about 17% of the time and fell 20% about 12% of the time, against 4.5% and 2.3% for all stocks. Sources: FINRA consolidated short-interest files for short interest, daily bars for volatility and rotation, broker-dealer stock-loan data for borrow fees (context), and FINRA CNMS daily short sale volume files for the heavy-short-volume flag (context; not the Reg SHO threshold list). The full methodology, including the calibrated odds table and known limitations, is published at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.

Frequently asked questions about CME squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 0 / 100 mean for CME?
A score of 0/100 for CME means it is either low on the setup board (quieter than other heavily shorted names) or not ranked at all (short interest below 15% of float, or incomplete data). Low-ranked gated names historically reached +20% within five sessions about 5% of the time, close to the 4.5% base rate for all stocks.
How fresh is the CME squeeze data?
The number on this page is the score as of Oct 23, 2026, the most recent session when this page was rebuilt. CME's score recomputes once daily after the US market close (typically by 9 PM ET). Volatility and float rotation come from daily price bars; borrow fee and the other context fields refresh daily. Short interest is settled as of Sep 30, 2026 and is held between readings, because FINRA publishes short interest on a settlement schedule, not daily. That is why the SI %Float row above is stamped with its own as-of date. Real-time short interest does not exist publicly in US markets.
Is CME on the FINRA threshold list?
As of the most recent FINRA file, CME is not on the threshold list. The list is published end-of-day and a ticker can move on or off based on cumulative settlement failures over rolling five-day windows. See stocks currently on the threshold list.
