If you can use the ThinkOrSwim platform you can see if the shares are ETB, HTB, or NTB. There are stocks to short that are in play but not very many. There are more shares to short for stocks in the $10 too $15 range versus those below $10. Every once in a while you can find those $5 range tickers to short.
I'm close to opening a secondary account with IB and only use their WebTrader to trade from and use TOS for charts, scan, and custom watchlists. IB has more tickers to short if you can open an account with them,
I like the sink or swim platform...there's a lot of great options for charting and stock "scanning", so I'll keep them and open a secondary account with another broker. Tim thanks for the link it was helpful...I'm used to forex trading where buying or shorting is not an issue, since there's so much liquidity. Anyone have experience with Merrill Edge? Since I already have a BOA account I'll check with them tomorrow.

[timalerts] $NUGT will hit 5 this week.

[TimAlerts] watch $MIND this week. Earnings on the 2nd. B/O coming, if you go by @timothysykes rules.

How much is everyone banking on $FORD and HEAR unless you doubt these patterns and go short :)
@timothysykes looks like a good time, but TVIX is pretty fun too!
I went in at 1.44 and out at 1.74. Nice $300 in 90 minutes. That is a whole day of work from my wages. Saw the pattern that Tim is always teaching us.
