    I want to start off by saying I'm new so sorry if these are dumb questions.

    I currently have the robinhood app. I cannot short sell on this app. What's an app I can buy/sell and short/cover on all/most markets, preferably for free (or cheap) or what are your recommendations?

    2. I am using Amibroker. Does it analysis data on all markets? Or which ones does it use and how can I see that?

    3. In Amibroker, I used the coding below and it did not come back with any short trades data. Why is that? What did I do wrong ha?

    buy = cross( cci(), 100 );
    sell = cross( 100, cci() );

    short = cross( -100, cci() );
    cover = cross( cci(), -100 );

    1. Interactive brokers will send data into amibroker for every market and then orders can be sent back to IB for execution. There is an interactive brokers plug-in for amibroker.

    IB has an extensive short list.

    Thank you!
    Are you also able to answer question 3 for me?

  6. Hi, Does anyone use Amibroker for auto/algo trading i.e. connecting to a broker like IBKR and auto trade - intraday? If yes what is your opinion?
