Dataset Overview:
"CQ Coral Ostrich" is engineered to meticulously deconstruct daily trading activities across a spectrum of US traded equities. It parses the trading volumes into two fundamental constituents:
- Buy Cover: This metric quantifies the volume of shares or contracts that traders acquire to cover their short positions. "Buy cover volume" is a fundamental gauge of market sentiment and can serve as an indicator of potential short squeezes. This parameter is pivotal for grasping shifts in investor sentiment and potential price fluctuations.
- Buy Long: This parameter encapsulates the volume of shares or contracts associated with the establishment of new long positions. The influx of "buy long" reflects investor optimism and confidence in the asset's upward trajectory.
Key Features:
The dataset boasts a range of key features designed to facilitate insightful analysis:
- ISIN and Ticker: Provides the unique International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and ticker symbols associated with the respective financial instruments.
- Trade Date and Timestamp: Two pivotal date columns are included. The "Trade Date" denotes the date corresponding to the trading flow being analyzed. The "Timestamp" signifies the date of dataset generation.
The dataset is generated daily at 8:00 AM CST, one day after each trading session. This ensures the availability of comprehensive and up-to-date data for analysis.
