TradeStation Significantly Increases List of Stocks that can be Shorted

On Monday, October 24th, we launched a significant improvement to our Easy To Borrow list that greatly expands the number of stocks available to short in accounts that clear at TradeStation. This includes significant improvements to the breadth of shorts available for NASDAQ, NYSE, and AMEX stocks and ETFs.

 

Do you mind telling us how many U.S. stocks are now on your short list?

Thanks,
-Eric

MichaelD,

You don't have to use their brokerage, when we know
TS brokerage datafeed will have problems somtimes
