Failure to Deliver (FTD)
Track SEC fails-to-deliver by trade date and settlement date, compare them with price, and review settlement and closeout dates.
Read the outstanding balance
The latest figure is the aggregate number of shares that remained undelivered on the settlement date. It includes new fails and removes fails that settled. It is not a count of new failed trades for that day.
The summary compares the latest figure with its monthly average. FTD Release History lists the SEC publication schedule.
Compare fails with price or moving average
Use Bar, Line, or Area for the fail series. Price adds the trade-date closing price. MA adds the 10-period moving average of fails. Price and MA cannot be displayed together.
Fails-to-Deliver is also available as a chart indicator in Bar, Line, or Step form. Step holds each reported value until the next report.
Create an FTD alert
Choose Release to alert when a new FTD dataset is published, without limiting the alert to one symbol. Choose Conditions for the current symbol and add thresholds or report-to-report changes using fails, fail percentage, notional value, or related report fields.
A new or edited alert records the latest publication without sending an old event. It evaluates the next finalized SEC dataset once.
Read the settlement timeline
The table includes Trade Date, Fails, FTD Change, Trade Volume, Settlement Date, Closing Deadline, Price, and Notional.
Settlement uses the T+1 standard or the earlier T+2 standard. Closing Deadline is a T+35 calendar reference, not a predicted purchase date. Historical values are split-adjusted.
