LCID is an example of one such ticker. When you try to short, your order gets rejected with a message: "rejected by broker".
Are there any NT8 API calls that I could use to determine that this is b/c this ticker can't be shorted at all? Or does a human have to get involved and notice that the ticker never accepts shorts? Or I guess my algo could try shorting X number of times and conclude after the 3rd or 4th rejection that it's not possible on this ticker.
The real issue is that I am trading across a dynamic and potentially large set of tickers, and I'm trying to avoid having to implement a discovery process on each one where I have to store out in the file system whether it can be shorted or not.
Do you have any suggestions?
Cheers.
