Limit orders when shorting

Posted by: Aussie on Apr 03, 15:03

Hello all

if I have a stock short and set a conditional sell at a cheaper price that the purchase price will it trigger at the lower target price or will it trigger straight away because the stock value is about the current trigger price?

So short @ $20, put a sell at trigger of $18. Will it sell straight away or because it's short it DOES work in reverse to a long hold?

Thanks.
