Shorting ETF's

I'm new to this. I have been trying to find an online broker that will allow me to short ETF's (e.g. JNUG, JDST, SOXL, SOXS). I know I can buy JDST if I want to short gold, but for some of my paper trading, my strategy seems to do better shoring JNUG in that situation. Anybody know where I can do this?

 

All major brokers support shorting stocks and ETFs. Interactive Brokers, LightSpeed, TDA, etc.

 

Thank you guru. I do have an account with Interactive Brokers, but those particular ETF's show that shorting is not available for them.

 

Hmm, I just placed live order to short JDST, and it was accepted without a problem:



What exact error message do you see?

 

Though you've mentioned paper trading, so possibly in paper mode IB isn't checking properly whether the stocks are available for shorting. I was able to short a lot of stocks in paper accounts at IB, but don't have one open right now to check these ETFs.
You may just want to contact IB support.

 

You're probably right. I'll contact support. Thanks
