About
Solid, cheap, Canada-accessible baseline. Margin ~5.14% (among lowest), real-time shortable-shares + borrow-fee/utilization data inside TWS, deep large-cap borrow. Runs on Mac/Linux/PC. Weakness: NOT a specialist locate broker — inventory on illiquid micro-cap / low-float names is materially weaker than CenterPoint/Cobra/TradeZero; if locate isn't found, the short order just won't fill. Good for large-cap shorts + options/global in one account.
