    I appreciate the video as always, but this one just seems a bit too “sell the product” to me. I understand you’re sponsored by them, but to put it bluntly, I did not subscribe for standalone sponsored videos. Completely understand the ads in between normal videos, just personally not a fan of this. Hopefully that didn’t come across the wrong way, as I just want to offer constructive criticism to keep the channel growing.

    Some complain about this being an ad, a sponsored video. I get it, but the thing is, *is the information valid?* I haven't been given any good reason to believe Alex would lie to me and if all I got out of this "ad" was another good lead from someone who hasn't steered me wrong yet, then I'm happy with the 5 minutes I spent here. Some say they didn't subscribe for this kind of content. Again, fair enough. However, I'd argue that *I* subscribed to *Alex*--to get what he believes will be helpful. That's what I'm getting here until I see otherwise. Don't get me wrong; if this channel turns into a sponsor-fest then I'm out as quick as anyone, but we're no where near that yet. Developing relationships with trusted products and services isn't inherently wrong (it just has a bad reputation), and if I'm going to trust the various tips and tricks Alex shares, I'm not going to stop trusting him just because something is sponsored (again, unless it gets to be characteristic of the channel).
    Just my two cents.
    Also, you still need $30k to open an account and you have to keep a $25k minimum balance. They refer you to their Venom Trading service where non-day-trading accounts can be had "for as little as $3,000).

    They all knew about trading very well but trade with an overview about your portfolio as well. The extraordinary part would be to find one who can't see your trades and orders to be 100% secure they wouldn't push or chase you with their liquidity to help or teach you lessons or something. But i guess that's never gonna happen since you program your own trading platform.

    For, let's say, a stock that is up around 100% on the day with low-float and priced from about $1 to $10, how would you compare the availability of shares for short-selling on Cobra vs. Interactive Brokers? (Not necessarily whether they are "no-cost to locate" or not, but whether they are actually available or not) Do you find that shares unavailable on Interactive Brokers end up being available on Cobra often?

      I used them, they are alright, there's a reason they have cheap commission, but the software is glitchy and worse part when you trade size and intraday where sometime seconds counts. I had the software froze up on me more than once when I had huge size, by the time i relogin the asset traded away from my area and i was down thousands. They are okay for longer term trading.

      @Marksman Thanks, I trade very little size at the moment so I appreciate the feedback.

    Hey Alex!
    Have you ever used TradeZero? Just like you, I trade more to the downside. TradeZero is known for their short locates, so I was wondering how Cobra compares to them? Better/worse/equal?
    And yeah, Like you say, service is something that is almost non-existent in the trading world. Don’t know how many times horrible service from brokers have pissed me off 😂

      Haha… The service at TZ is horrible. Did not know that Cobra was cheaper, will look into it. Thanks again!
