Help me understand the calculation for a OW price move {nm}

Help me understand the calculation for a OW price move jtempkin May 03, 03:22

how can it have more short than long but only move 1%? jtempkin May 03, 03:23

Just because players buy or short any security, does not mean the movement price goes up or down every time... Flash May 03, 07:01

If somebody buys 100k long at the same time somebody buys 100k short, it doesn't change, buying short changes stk less than long IME. {nm} arf May 03, 07:44

That would make sense, since you're technically "borrowing" it, selling it at market price and buying it back later for less. {nm} Dave3626 May 03, 10:27

I think that is how it's "virtually" done on HSx, IPO stocks remaining don't count shorted shares -good (IMO) explanation inside- arf May 03, 10:44

Also, HSX might have their own secret-sauce version of an uptick rule in place to keep the shorts from exerting too much downward pressure. {nm} Dave3626 May 03, 12:30

shorting a stock actually increases the supply, as you are selling stock that you dont own....but my question... {nm} jtempkin May 03, 17:33

I guess I do not understand your question, then. {nm} arf May 04, 19:27

In real markets, shorting helps to stabilize the stock price. elchan May 05, 12:58
