Keep in mind, IB sets a minimum margin of $2.50, so that works against you when you want to short some garbage penny stock. You’ll have to put up $2.50/share anyway, and also pay the borrow on that basis as well. Be careful.

Naked shorting of OTC pennies is not practical if a brokerage firm allows it at all.
