A stock is considered to be a threshold security when it has an aggregate fail to deliver position for five consecutive settlement days at a registered clearing agency that total 10 000 shares or more and when this volume is at least equal to 0.5% of the stock total shares outstanding. Fails to deliver historical positions can be downloaded here Fails to deliver - Reported by the SEC or here Fails to deliver.
Only securities whose issuers are registered with the Commission can be threshold securities. The majority of Pink Sheets listed companies are not registered and therefore cannot be threshold securities. In fact, the reason why non-registered companies cannot be classified as threshold securities if they meet the previous rules is because non-registered companies are not required to report their total number of outstanding shares, consequently SROs doesn't have a reliable total outstanding shares number to determine whether the security meet the definition of threshold security.
The NASDAQ exchange releases a daily list of threshold securities of NASDAQ, OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and other OTC stocks. This historical data of threshold securities is downloaded by this item and saved in a custom database "threshold_nasdaq".

Threshold: This field is always equal to one. It can be used by the trading software's programming language to determine whether a stock is a threshold security in a particular date.
Flag: This field is equal to one if the security is subject to mandatory close-out requirements outlined in the SEC Regulation SHO.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
