Fintel.io provides historical data for a wide range of financial metrics, including options data, put/call ratio, gamma exposure (GEX), short interest, and insider activity. Access to the more detailed and historical aspects of this data generally requires a premium subscription.
Here's a breakdown of the availability and characteristics for each data type:
- Options Data (including PC Ratio and GEX): Fintel offers historical data for options, including options chains, options sentiment, options flow, gamma exposure (GEX), and implied volatility. The institutional put/call ratio is available and plots historical data, with daily updates.1
- Short Interest: Historical short interest data is available on Fintel. This data is sourced directly from stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, etc.) and FINRA. Short interest figures are published twice-monthly. The platform organizes this data by update frequency, including intraday data (short shares availability, short borrow fee rate), daily data (short volume, fails-to-deliver), and twice-monthly data (short interest). Historical data for short interest can extend back several years, with examples showing data from at least 2021.2
- Insider Activity: Fintel provides insider trading data, which includes an insider overview, details on the latest insider trades, and leaderboards for insider buying and selling.3
Historical Depth and Subscription Levels:
While the exact historical depth can vary by specific metric and security, Fintel generally stores extensive historical data. For instance, institutional ownership data (13F filings) can go back to at least 2018.1
Most of the detailed historical data for options, put/call ratio, GEX, short interest, and insider activity, beyond basic summaries, requires a premium Fintel subscription. The platform indicates that a premium membership is needed to access detailed NPORT filings and to unlock and export premium data. Fintel lists features like "Options Flow," "Short Squeeze Data," "Institutional Ownership," and "Insider Trading" under its "PREMIUM" offerings.1
