(binned per thread starter's request) Market bottom rotation trad

Jan, why its saying for some equities "Its not available to short". wtf?

amd was a killer trade today

For those you need to locate stocks to short. Usually someone else has the locates. as far as i know.

macro:


micro:

after many rejection trade is finally moving

.

Some equities are not shortable at some brokers. In very liquid assets (for example all FX currencies) you will be able to short at any time you wish, in lower liquid assets you wont, because shorting a asset means someone needs to give you borrows for that asset which means that the more riskier the asset is (low cap, low liquid, strong moving asset) the less likely it is that broker will have borrows on shares for you to short it.
Now that will then highly depend at which broker you trade with, most US regulated brokers will have a lot of restrictions on low cap equities, basically you wont be able to short most of equities bellow 5 USD, however there are some offshore and some also well regulated brokers like Centerpoint or Schwab that will have anything you wish to short, theyll have borrows on anything, so this will then heavily depend at which broker you are trading with. For example on Tradezero they have usually very solid borrows on many assets, while on the private fund that i trade with ill rarely get borrows on anything bellow 5 USD, especially if it isnt liquid.
Generally its not a big problem unless you are putting heavy focus on shorting heavy short squeezes (those patterns are strong money makers) so for that its worthy finding decent broker with borrows, but Tradezero is pretty decent usually.

This one on USDCAD shouldnt be considered it doesnt fit into any category. EURUSD was a fine trade though.

There she goes, 5 days later IT40 tanking as pointed out on macro explanation. Was eyeing it here and there for running setups but no particular strong micro short setups were printed.

Keeping eye on USDTRY potential to run into new lows, tracking for potential continuation setup bake or accumulation setups along momentum. As usual once the London and Turkish markets open on overlap the same story is taking place.

Bitcoin, will try to get fill on Coinigy where there are no spreads on limit fills. Decent accumulation setup with HH print.

CADJPY macro pullback leg after impulse setup, looking for micro entries to go along the bull side.

GBP slightly asymmetric supply takeout setup but might deliver.

86,64 CADJPY longed on the low, smaller size.

good that i have always 2 positions and take early profits

DE30 solid setup, slipped under radar.

CADJPY long sold for gains, still looking for micro setups here and there as overall target is still higher.

GBPJPY tracking supply with alert, if it pushes into supply in single leg and shows strenght on bull side its a consideration for supply takeout entry.
