    I have 2 differents accounts with two differents brokers clearing through CCS.
    Whatever the stock ( amat, msft etc..) i got a message not on the short list when i try to take a short position.
    Of course it happens a day when the market is rubby red :(
    Anybody knows something about this problem?

    Hi, spieler
    My broker, Noble, clears through them too and I didn't have any problems. In fact I put a live order in to short 500 shares of MSFT at 60 right now to check for you (wish I would have been filled Ha.) and it went through fine.
    CCS short list is here http://www.ccls.com/CCSShort.htm
    What brokers do you use? Also what software are you using? I'm using RealTick 7.6.
    Sorry you had that problem. Definitely the wrong day. Did you call your brokers?

    i do not understand because a friend of mine gave a call to his broker 5 minutes ago and he was told that CCS have a big problem and perhaps we will not be able to short during 2 or 3 days.

    My brokers are equitytrading and TRADEWALLSTREET

    Impossible to open your file i tried since this morning

    http://www.ccls.com/CCSShort.htm and always get There was a communication problem and my connection is OK.

    I can't access this page either http://www.ccls.com/CCSShort.htm But I can short things without any problems. I'm sure my broker uses them as I always look at my account info there. Maybe you can call CCS themselves.
