Shorting HTB stocks. Need help understanding short interest rates, and how to account them into a trading plan.


As title states I’m having trouble finding a clear answer on how to calculate short interest rates on HTB stocks. These trades are going to be entered and exited within a week to a month at most time period. Basic price differences are consistent at -19.5% for a week and -36% for a month. However given that some stocks on my ever expanding short list sometimes see movements past break even, volatile ones at that, i need to understand how to calculate short interest rates since that obviously offsets the potential short gains. As well as how to calculate current interest rates before even entering. Finding a broker to support all these trades with HTB is another challenge; i have a private broker that may be able to support my activities. Otherwise I’m looking at using my Schwab, or if you guys have suggestions for other brokers I’m open to that as well. Thanks for any help!
