 depends on your broker. Interactive brokers has a 
list on their site, see: 
  
  
but this shouldnt be the reason why the system 
performs suspiciously well. Maybe you developed something really good. However, 
most of the times when a system performs suspiciously good then some 
way you are using information from the future. This can be in an obvious 
way that you just use a reference to the future for a calculation or that you 
select symbols for your backtest using information from the future.

  Subject: [amibroker] short stocks 
  
 
  Good day,
  I've met this problem developing 
  system for shorts - quite general  question, actually. The system I've 
  created demonstrated such a   positive results on backtesting that I 
  became suspicious. The reason  (I guess here) is that stocks for 
  which  the system produces short  signals are not shortable (or not 
  enough shortable). Does anyone know  how to find out if the stock is 
  shortable or not? Maybe is there a  list of such  stocks somewhere? I 
  understand it can vary from day to  day but it could help in general 
  anyway...
  Thanks, Dmitri
