ORTEX Review, Pricing, and Features
ORTEX combines short interest, securities lending, options flow, and trading-signal data for active investors, analysts, and data teams. Deeper web and API access sits behind paid tiers. It is a signal service, not a broker or portfolio ledger.
Best for
- Active traders and analysts tracking short interest, securities lending, options flow, insider trades, stock scores, and trading signals.
- People comparing short-interest platforms with free, Basic, Advanced, and separate API access.
- Developers and quant users needing ORTEX data through API, Python SDK, or Excel Add-in workflows.
Watch out
- Free accounts have limited access. Basic, Advanced, and API tiers unlock deeper datasets and workflow capacity.
- Options data is sourced from OPRA and requires agreeing to OPRA terms.

- Review company pages that combine price action, bid/ask context, analyst recommendations, consensus targets, events, macro releases, and news streams.
- Access ORTEX data through the web app, mobile experience, REST API, Python SDK, Excel Add-in, and CSV exports depending on subscription level.

- Pricing: free accounts are limited, Basic and Advanced web tiers add more workflow capacity, and API plans are sold separately with credit and rate limits.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
