Was wondering if anyone else had trouble finding shares to short with Think or Swim. I was going to apply for a margin account because I love TOS's features and don't really want to switch brokers. I also know they are merging with Scottrade which should be complete by the end of September. I was also looking online to find the best broker and TOS kept ranking best overall which definitely justifies me staying with them. However, I was wondering if any veteran traders had trouble finding shares and if so how they adapted
Thanks!
I am not yet a Veteran but I have definitely had trouble finding Shares to Short with TDAmt.
TOS typically won't have low float, mini cap stocks available to short. only larger cap, and float stocks.
