You short a stock if you think the price will go DOWN, if you set a limit order, it must be BELOW the price you short it at

Posted by: Flash on May 14, 07:40 in response to nkliph3's post How to short and cover LIMIT orders work? Can I short...

Example:  You short MOVIE stock at $50, you set a limit order to cover it at $45.  If the price drops to $45 your limit order executes and sells MOVIE at $45.

If you set your limit order at $55, HSX will execute your order right away, since you cannot use limit orders to prevent you from losing money...only to make money.

How to short and cover LIMIT orders work? Can I short when a stock drops to a certain price, or only buy limit that way? nkliph3 May 14, 06:56

Technically, your limit has to be better than the current price, not where you bough tit. ndmaster May 14, 08:05
