Lescor: You can go to assentclearing.com and they have a list of stocks on "AVAILABLE TO BORROW". All my stocks that were rejected were not on that list. I guess Hammer automatically reject shorts orders if they were not on that list. I am trying to figure a way to get around this..:confused...

I just noticed that some of my shorts are rejected for examples: CA, MSO, LYO, LPX, MWD etc. After inquiring , I found out that these stocks are not on the list of "AVAILABLE to BORROW" list of stocks that my firm has. In the past as long as stocks are not on "HARD to BORROW", you order to...

Since AT is going away, several prop firms are now switching to different platform. Assent and Hold brothers, I believe chose ESignal and Generic goes with Thompson one. THis is my third day using Esignal to trd NYSE listed stocks. Not very good experience so far: A stock that I was trading...

Today, problems with DOT just before open, and came back a few min after open. Last week also the same problem, but other firm said that the SIAC (dot connection) was back to normal 15 minutes before market open. This really sucks for people who like to place premarket orders like myself...

Cashonly: WIth the existing thrade through rule, do you have good rate of succes to short on ECN when stock is going down fast? Also, just like to confirm whether it is legal to short downtick on ArcaX or INET even for NYSE listed stocks ( I know that this is legal for NASDAQ stock). If so...
