Understanding the Volatility Alert: Overall sentiment is considered “bear” when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered “bull” when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity.

The current volatility is the respective trading day’s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change.
