So we're gon na talk about my trade zero platform today, trig zero is a broker based out of the Bahamas and they are known for one of those brokers that allow you to short, almost anything. So if you like to play a lot of these low float small caps, they often have the shorts available to borrow and they take clients out of United States, Canada and a lot of international countries as well. So we'll be going over my entire zero pro platform layout settings chart settings indicators, hotkeys and how to borrow and locate stocks. Too short, so let's go over the charts layout first, so by default you have all the time intervals up here.

One minute for the chart. Ceo DX five minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, etc, etc. So I usually like to have my intraday chart here. I usually use one minute or three minutes and I have the daily charts here.

You can link all the windows together by clicking this little icon here, ABCDE and you have very similar features on thinkorswim. So let's go over the indicators, so by default we have the WAP that's the default. They have, if you want to add more click indicator up here, go to general. Let's say I don't use a lot of indicators, but let's try out some EMA's.

So once you have the indicator, you can double click it on there to adjust the settings. So this is a moving average exponential. So that's say if you want to use a 13 and I'm gon na change the color to let's keep it blue, but you can change the line style and a line weight. So that's a if you want you can see on the preview here.

If I want the indicator to be, you know I can have that here and you can close to safe, but I'm gon na change my B WAP. So that's how I want my view up to be yellow. So that's how you change that and I'll keep that solid and the weight I'll keep that fine for so make it a lot thicker. If you want, if that's easier to see for you so very easy, and if you want to get rid of the in haters, you just click on the chart, the indicator here and delete, and that's it so by default, you have the previous day closed line up Here this dashed yellow line.

You can change the color if you go in and double click it to change it if you want, but I like to keep it at the default okay, so you know we can also draw trend lines up here. So let's say if I want to draw a horizontal line, I just click draw horizontal and I can draw a line up here. You can see, drew a line at 1885. If I want, I can move the line higher or lower if I want to, and also if you want to change the background color of the chart, just right click and go to profile.

Let's say you know black is too hard to see. Then maybe I can try something like white, which actually hurts my eye, but some people prefer to tree like this, so he can change all these different colors here. I'm gon na keep mine black for now. Ok, next, let's go to level 2, which is this window right here by default, who trade, zero level two has level two and time in sales in the same window, you can change that if you want.

So if you want to change that, what you can do is go to settings up here, click this get rid of time in sales. If you don't want to see it now, we also, I usually use the montage level two for order entry as well and keep level one on. You can turn that off if you want, but we're gon na keep that at default, so over here is where you can change your color gradient on the level to the classic. Is the very colorful no color blocks that I have right now? If you only use a new zero Pro, you can try this and get this kind of color, and what I like to do is to change the size of the font on my default level.

Two, so two eight by default is eight and it's really hard to see. So I usually like to go with ten. So if you click apply, you see the changes right here. You can see our you know and then okay, you see everything is updated now.

So, let's bring back our time and sales window again so go over here and click timing, sales. So, first of all we want to link it to the same montage window. We were using so link a so let's say we want to look at Co, DX and you have it right here. So that's right, click and adjust the settings we are gon na get rid of.

I usually just need the price, the size and exchange. So I usually get rid of everything else, so that's usually oh. I need and then I'll put that besides my level 2 window. So let's talk about order.

Entry on the level 2 window right now, so usually I use limit order. It's very rare that I use any market order and no quantity you can adjust here. That's say if I want to buy 500 shares of Co D X or you can also change the quantity with your right and left key on your word on your keyboard. So if I go right, then that's it increasing by hundreds left decreasing by hundreds now for the price.

I can either select the price on level 2 so that automatically loads the bid price or I can press the up and down key to adjust the price by each cent. If I want to so that's pretty convenient now this is a live account, so I'm not gon na click any button here, but it's pretty straightforward. So if I want to buy then gets buy, sell to sell something with trade 0 is that the shorts and the cells are short and sell that long positions, two different buttons, so that's a little bit annoying and for the buy and the buy to cover buttons Are also separate so make sure you know about that. So that's something to keep in mind of the you if you're using this platform to trade.

Ok, now, let's go over in a very exciting short list on trade 0, which is what everyone is usually excited about. So if you click on the short list or you can go up to Maine, you can click over here short list over here then now pop up this window. So that's C. If I want to short the stock s, R and E, or just click s, R and E over here, enter I'll.

Show you the price of the barroso sr any, is right now three cents per share. Basically, so if I wan na short locate a thousand shares, I click by putting a thousand and click locate. You'll show you the offer right. So it's gon na cost me thirty, five dollars and ten cents to short a thousand shares, and if I want to accept it, I click accept and once you accept this locate and you click accept, it will show up in your inventory.

Then I would have a thousand shares available to short the stock as R and E. So one thing: that's kind of unique about trade 0 is the fact that you can return the borrow, so you don't end up using but keep in mind that they are obviously gon na, buy it back at a very cheap price. So let's say: if I you know, let's just try it anyways. Let's try.

I'm gon na borrow a hundred shares for this demo. So if I borrow a hundred shares, I'm gon na spend three dollars and 51 cents. I accepted it. You can see that now.

In my inventory and that's a - I decided that I don't want to use it, I can go in and see I have a hundred shares available. I can credit back so, but now that you credit it back, you have to see what price they're offering to buy it back. So usually it takes a while actually come on. Give me some credit.

Ten minutes later you see like they make it easy to borrow their stock, but it takes a while to you know, give you back any credit you want come on. Give me back my three dollars and fifty cents, I'm gon na bet. You they're only gon na give me like a cents per share, so I'll probably only get back ten dollars, we'll see what happens. So while we wait for the short borrows credit to show up, if there's anything, let's go see the hot keys for Tracy ever.

Shall we okay go click on the top menu again click hot keys now bring up the hot key window. Okay, so these are the current hot keys. I have with this platform, keep in mind. I only use trade zero us a backup short broker.

So I have my main broker, which is Center point where I shorts almost everything there, but there are times when certain stocks are restricted over there, I'm a main broker that that's why I come back and use trade zero so to back up. So that's why all the hockey are basically just shorting and covering you can see. So let's create a hot key from scratch right now. So let's say if I wan na, create create a by hot key click action over here and it will be set up or send order and kind of like annoying like the way they set up.

Ok side. Let's say I want to buy the stock route. Smart shares that say you know I want create hot key to buy a thousand shares limit. I always use limit time in fours.

I used a price source. I want to use bid, and this is something you can use if you want offset. So if you use offset it will be plus or minus the the bid price. So I usually like to do that just to make sure I get filled so and then you can put your hot key over here up to a combination of two.

So for this demo, that's to you know, do control key and then you type in the description by a thousand shares a bid. Do you click safe and that shows up over here and you can see if you, you know, take a screenshot. You can see all the current hot keys I have. I have, you know, cover a thousand shares a bid cancel last, which I have use escape.

If you look at this an escape to cancel my last orders liquidate everything, so this is for panic. This is just in case something bad happens. I want to liquidate everything I could. If I want to knock on words, I haven't had to do that yet, but just in case right, ok so cancel orders.

I have control escape. That's all the pending orders, not just the last order. Also, I have you know short a thousand and asked over here I have covered one fourth covered half and this four I'm shorting the stock and then again I've covered everything, panic right. This is covered.

A hundred percent of my position, basically stopping out if I'm getting squeezed, I just want to take any liquidity and get out of the stock. So that's my hot key settings for trade 0. You can see, I don't have any hot key settings for buying and selling for going long. That's because I don't use this broker for going long.

I only use it as a backup for shorting Wow. My credit is still not back yet okay. This is like taking a while, so let's just goes to show you that this broker isn't perfect. They tell you, you can return your shares, but no, I want it right now.

You know like I guess I just wasted three dollars and ten cents on this demo. So let's go over the news window over here on trade zero, so the news window over here you can click all the select all the symbols. So let's say you know srn e right now you can see that the stock is ripping higher on the possible of a cure for coronavirus right now or you can do a keyword search as well. So if I do the search thing I'll have all the news.

4's RN e that contains the keyword FDA, so that could be pretty useful too and again you can go to a meme and then you can pull up the news from this window over here. Okay, so let's look at the topless window now, which you can access by clicking name again and then topless over here. So let's go. They have all the different, I guess the cappers on the day.

If I want to look at Nasdaq percentage change up, I can click the defaults here and if I want to show sort by percentage, you can see all the top gainers on the day and vice-versa, you can look at the losers on the day as well. If you click top list Nasdaq chain percentage change down, you can see the losers on the day. But, honestly, I don't use a top list lot much and then one more thing is the watchlist and watch. This kind of looks like this over here so watch this.

So I can know enter all the stocks that I want to watch for the day: ap DN, let's say Co, DX, SR and E, and then usually I just have this - you know in a corner somewhere besides the top list, so you must be wondering why is Trade 0. My backup broker so treat 0, is a pretty decent broker for those who want to short these hard to borrow stocks. But, honestly, it's only my back broker, because the platform execution is really not the best. There has been times where I couldn't get filled and where there's a lot of leg.

So just keep that in mind if you decide to go with this broker, but this platform still appeals to a lot of people with a smaller account because they have lower account. Minimums, I think, with trade zero America, you need only three thousand dollars to open an account and with trade, zero international, which is who I'm with in Canada. Here I think the minimum of 6000 or 7000 dollars so in comparison to some other brokers at copra and the center point. They all require you to be above PDT above the $ 30,000 mark to open an account with them.

To borrow those hard to borrow stocks, too short, so let me know what you guys think about trade 0 as a broker and whether you are using it too short a lot of these penny stocks.
