Playing & Trading Strategy

Answer INSIDE.

Not Confusing at all.

SHORTING at 0.25 without SELLING would produce ZERO (0.00) Profit if it fell back to 0.10 as you would have 100,000 LONG & 100,000 SHORT. You would make PROFIT on the SHORT and incur an Off-Setting LOSS on the LONG.

Given the Above Facts, the Correct Play would be SELL & SHORT at 0.25, then COVER & BUY when it fell back Down to 0.10.

There is 0.02 Commission on Trades involving Securities under 2.00, which would Reduce the Net Profit.

best Wishes.
