Which brokers is best for beginning short sellers?

[tomkat22]

More than you know - I did forward walk paper trading for six months and then compared the results to back testing for the previous six months in ninja - the results were not even close. back testing can be misleading and even corrupt.

My problem was I have the type personality that I hate to "wait" to do anything. I just had to jump in live trading with real money or bust a gut! Oh well,que sera sera.

I run 12 bots a day within the indices of CL, ES, NQ, RTY and YM; Some of the bots are 2 minute bots and other ones are range or UniRenko. Trading from 9:40 AM to 11:00 AM eastern Standard Time I get about 12 to 20 trades for that session on average so there's lots to do.

I have paper traded for over 2 years now and feel that I am ready. I have checked other brokers and am abut conflicted on which one to choose
I will open an account under 25k so the pdt rule will be in effect for me
I’m looking for a broker with low commission and platform fees, fast executions, and has a good list of stocks to short
Thank you any help would be greatly appreciated

Some brokers have you contact them for shorts. So that will affect "fast" executions.

All anyone has to do is think, how can brokers provide "free" trading?

Just like P&G and other food and household giants provide 6 additional "free" ounces when you buy the 28 ounce bottle. They make it up in other ways. Nuthin' is free.

HOOD is a prime example of how not to make it up elsewhere.

Kinda wish I started on SIM for 2 years. Would've saved me a few grand.

MAYbe;
maybe not, because your guts know the difference between sim + real gains, real losses.
But i'm not going to disrespect paper trading/ its more than sim trading + i use Fed reserve note$ with real trades/investing.
