Does anyone know how you can see the Easy locates status which is in the Interactive Brokers TWS, inside NT.
The locates status is the red, green or dark green Led light in the order panel of TWS, and indicates if the stock has borrowable shares available to short it or not.
So when it's bright green, there are stocks available and you can short no problem.
Dark green means its difficult for locates, and you can place a short order which may or may not get filled, but usually doesn't.
Red means, don't bother shorting it.
My situation is, I use NT and TWS Gateway.
I am trading from NT only and would love to see the status inside the NT platform.
Thanks
