How can I short indices?

[dangold888]

Other than using CFDs and futures, is there any product that allows me to short indices such as XJO, or other indices?

My broker has told me I cannot short ETFs, which would have been my first choice for shorting. Apparently you can short MINI warrants, but I know little about them.

Hi.

One alternate method from what you have already mentioned is to sell an XJO call and buy the put at the same strike, not ideal for intraday trading but it will get you into the position you desire.
