The streamed/published trades are paper/reference trades, because I don’t know who will be able to short which stocks at which broker, so I just stream everything.
But the live performance should be similar when you short just a portion of those stocks. And I use IB as my broker, which offers decent short availability.
This algo is a little older (launched at the beginning of the year), while internally I trade multiple strategies that I have to continually maintain, improve, fix bugs, debug, fix data after stock splits or orders that were busted or had other issues). So it’s not really possible for me to publish just the live trades. My goal was actually to try to trade up to 500 stocks per day, and then it wouldn’t even matter which orders go through, and many of them wouldn’t be HTBs while the overall profitability would be similar across the board. But it’s too much work, while I see even more potential in options, so I’m busy with that now. I won’t stream my options trades though. My current stock strategies will just continue self-running/streaming as long as I don’t have to put much time into maintaining them.
