Cobra Trading (direct) — reference / benchmark

The thing you originally wanted, kept here as the benchmark. Best-in-class short-share sourcing via DAS Trader Pro / Sterling locate monitors, multiple locate sources, no overnight locate multiplier, volume-tiered pricing. Blockers for you: direct accounts are US-resident oriented and Canada is the access problem that started this whole list; DAS software is Windows-only (won't run natively on the ym2 Mac). This is the standard the others are measured against, not a live option for a QC resident without misrepresentation.
