I would think short %, and then some field that tells you the stock is rising, like rate of change, % up, etc., that gives you an indication that a squeeze is setting up.

I got a list of stocks that contains about 5000 tickers, and I push a button and it queries and records all the data. Takes about an hour to run. Once I have all the data, I could use help in finding the best way to sort it--volume, short % of float, distance from 52 week high, whatever. Any ideas would be hot.
