The IBKR Securities Lending Dashboard offers a comprehensive suite of short-selling metrics and analytical tools for US stocks and ETFs within the Trader Workstation and Client Portal. Users can monitor eight critical data points, including utilization, short interest indicators, and borrower versus lender depth, to gauge market demand and potential short squeeze risks. The interface features customizable trend lines and comparison charts that allow for the simultaneous analysis of multiple tickers across various timeframes.
