Hi all,
I signed up for Fidelity Brokerage, so I am using their platform and I have a few questions about it.
1. Is there any way to scan for premarket gainers or mid-day breakouts? The best/most specific filter I can get is: Top % Gainers, Across All Markets & Under "Technicals" Short term Uptrend + 20%. Is there anyway of fine-tuning these categories?
2. How good are they for borrows. I know for most low-floaters they are HTB (hard to borrow) and you have to call them. Are they reliable for their borrows?
3. How do you change the Color of Level 2? For me it is in varying shades of Blue.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!

I had fidelity and recently transfered most of my assets to Etrade. I strongly recomend STT for scans or Etrade. I found the active trader pro to not be very user friendly and did not fit my style. I still have a small fidelity account but Etrade much better for shorting, fidelity never had shares available
@Csethc77 Thanks for your reply. I hope to open a margin account and try out short selling on Fidelity first.
I don't like Fidelity's scanner. It's very basic. So I use EquityFeed. Yes, you have to call them for hard to borrow shorts. Try calling them in premarket hours to get the stocks you want to short. I don't change the color for the level 2 feed. I like Fidelity's customer service, but I will probably use another broker soon They are very limited.
@profitsGalore Pretty much my thoughts on Fidelity so far, I feel like they are much better for investments
