Here's a definition of FTD (failure to deliver).
Post# of 72440
Quote:
In a “naked” short sale, the seller does not borrow or arrange to borrow the securities in time to make delivery to the buyer within the standard two-day settlement period. As a result, the seller fails to deliver securities to the buyer when delivery is due (known as a ”failure to deliver” or “fail”).

Data show 12,852 shares (0.086% of the outstanding shares) were failure-to-deliver as of April 25. Hope this helps.
