What 
about futures (emini) - no uptick rule - no manipulation - no hidden orders 
(that i know of)
better 
taxation - margin deposit is less - marketable fills are virtually instant and 
substantially different taxation (60/40)
Just a 
few thoughts ... NQ H4  1083 to 1062 yesterday and from 1067.25 to 1072.50

  Interactive Brokers / MOO orders / shorts
  hello,
   
  having a system that seems to work fine is only 
  useful if one can use it in the "real" world. I wonder if there are people 
  using Interactive Brokers (IB) who have solved some practical 
  problems.
   
  first you need to backtest a system using a list 
  of stocks that actually are allowed to be shorted. I have the list so that 
  problem is solved hopefully. How reliable is this list. Is it updated or does 
  one run into stock one cannot short after all. 
   
  Then there is the problem of the orders. Since I 
  use open prices in a current system I am testing I use MOO orders. They are 
  actually designed to be used on the Nyse and Amex but I only used them on the 
  Nasdaq and I get a price pretty close to the actual open price when I 
  place a MOO buy order (for small orders). But SHORT orders were not 
  executed (on the Nasdaq) because the 30 sec time limit was exceeded 
  .....  So I am pretty comfortable with the LONG orders but would like to 
  know how people place SHORT orders at the OPEN with Interactive 
  Brokers,
