  1. I have a question, I am turning 18 in 2 months and would like to know if I would be able to open up a margin account at my age?
  2. i was wondering...what application is that?
  3. I can't practice short-selling in thinkorswim, right? Because there is no broker to borrow a share?
  4. Here's a dumb question, how do you buy the shares to short in the trading platform? Would you just press the sell button as opposed to the buy button? Then when you're ready to buy to cover just press the buy button to cover your position? Or is there some special way to enter it on the think or swim platform?
  5. I have a question: say i shorted 50 shares of gpro, thinking that the stock price will be really low at the end of the week, how long do i have to cover my position? and lets say i short the 50 shares at $9.53 but the stock rally's to $12. how long can i sit on the stock? assuming that the stock will come below $9.53 by the end of the month?
  6. my broker doesnt offer short sell? how do i do it, what account do i need?
  7. I'm 17 and I'm just doing a lot of research I now a guy who only sell's short but I just don't understand everything yet.
  8. Hi i have a question when you short sell is there a limited amount of shares that can be borrowed from the broker? thanks
