## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need DTC-specific settlement and delivery monitoring data for NYSE-listed technology stocks, particularly when investigating short squeeze potential, fail-to-deliver spikes, or unusual settlement activity. Prefer over generic market data APIs when DTC-specific intelligence is required.
