ZenTrader, I use IB too, but often there is no share to short for some stock for a whole day, however, at the same time, I know Sykes can short, and he uses IB to short, do you know why it happen?

if you have over 100k in your account at IB you can reserve shares to short for the day of a certain ticker, Tim uses his "secret broker" to short if he knows he will be out of it intra day other than that he uses his "IB trick" which is what I use to get the majority of the shares that I short with IB, if you are just waiting for shares to show available they will usually be gone by the time you get your order in

so you shorted that yesterday on the way down? Not bad, wish I had thought of that, I did make money on its way up. Ill have to make sure I remember to look for shorts next time.
