Best platform for live (and paper) trading of short-selling?

[pollock]

Hi,

I've been using Interactive Brokers for live trades but it's a bit outdated compared to, say, ThinkorSwim.

However the short selling is fantastic even for Hard-To-Borrow shares (compared to ThinkorSwim.)

Is there any platform you recommend that has the best availability of stocks to short?

Regards

One of our sponsors here at ET is TradeZero, and one of their claims is the ability to locate hard-to-borrow securities for short selling. And if you maintain a high-enough balance, you can get a discount off the standard locate rates.

You could use a front end to IB such as ninjatrader, motivewave, multicharts or dastrader
