HOLLOW POINT TRADING MARKET BRIEF

What this market video covers

Days to cover is a ratio, not a countdown. Imagine a hypothetical reported short interest of one million shares and average daily volume of two hundred thousand shares. Dividing the position snapshot by that volume gives five days of average volume. Keep the short position unchanged, but use a later declared averaging window with five hundred thousand shares

Use this analysis as general education. Confirm current prices and conditions independently, define invalidation before entry, and size every position for the loss you can actually tolerate.
