Short Selling | Trading Terms

[@425TOM]

I've learned so much from David and 212 Trading. You blokes rock!

[@CTERRY-rk7ub]

As a begginer I find your videos very educational and usfull,I have been watching through the playlist for the past few weeks and have learnt alot practising my knowledge on demo and once confindent enougth I take to my real account,Thankyou David great teacher.

[@lemonsarejuicy8817]

can we get more tutorials from this guy? he is super easy to understand and is very clear

[@andrewjacob2773]

You're borrowing the stock to then sell it, you're not buying it, but how many knew that trading markets or platforms allowed you to sell something you don't own? So glad I found this video because I had no idea about this!

[@justinmorgan4568]

Absolutely golden video. So let me get this straight... If I were to want to jump into a share while it's meeting a resistant level I should sell into the share FIRST, anticipating it to go down? Rather than buy into it like anyone else would if they knew nothing about stalk market lingo and assumed the share would still go up?

[@morningstar9233]

Thankyou thats the best explanation of short selling i've seen.

[@Brzy11]

Real useful. The least I could do is like and comment. Thanks

[@haphazrds250]

Excellent, clear and concise

[@donniereidjr]

Sir do you recommend setting two stop loss orders then. 1- If the price doesn’t drop 1- if the price drops as you predicted

[@KhandokarRubelBD]

VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND N HELPFULL VIDEO THANKS A LOT

[@yo_fighter9750]

i like all your videos

[@deenadhayalan8581]

I have understand how to trade , thank you very much sir.

[@andrewjenery1783]

Didn't have a clue about short selling until watching this and didn't know that trading platforms allowed you to borrow whatever it is. What's the minimum requirements for opening an account with Trading 212?

[@andrewjenery1783]

A jump from 100p to 150p is an increase of 50% - there's no guarantee of such a margin and even then it's not certain that someone will buy at the increased value. Same thing if you're selling short, it's not certain someone will buy at that price immediately.

[@GAMINGOOZE101]

Short selling on the CFD account, the overnight fees are ridiculous, the stock needs to drop fast to profit or you will lose money through holding the position over night. It is more aimed at day traders. If only the overnight fees were not so bad you could hold a short position and swing it this is the dilemma I found myself in, I am a swing trader, I would happily hold positions for weeks and even months for a swing, but the over night fees make this near on impossible to swing trade a short position on 212. Any advice to avoid overnight fees?

[@yamanpepsygreatness7847]

Thanks so much

[@goldingb3933]

So you can’t do short selling on invest mode ?

[@anumsheraz]

This guy is the best !

[@andrewjenery1783]

Sorry to carry on, but... So using CFD you can buy/sell whatever it is but you don't ever actually own any shares, commodities, etc, because CFDs are a derivative?

[@vtace1]

Hi David, Could you make a video on how a trader can logically time longs and shorts with volatile things that are moved by news and emotion, such as bitcoin and Tesla, vs a standard stock that commonly follows indicators, such as GE.

[@Trading212]

Thanks for your request, Van.

[@coursepremium]

Hello, How are you? Thank you very much for all the videos so well explained, it is a pleasure to hear your pronunciation, I can understand almost everything, and that I do not speak English jejeje. I would like to take the opportunity to ask you about two things that I have not seen yet, and some traders comment, 1- do not use stop loss, but rather edging ... 2 - use the order book, see the number of people or orders placed in a trend or another, and so see where are the possible resistances and orders, at what price since it would see the number of orders placed at different prices. .. 3· can you show how to uses traling stops? I operate in cryptocurrencies, but I only see in the order book if the number of buyers exceeds by more than 25% the amount of btc that are in that currency, by ej. for sale there are 20 btc, but in shopping orders there are 30 or more btc. I have done small operations of 5% profit taking, and it has gone well so far. You could do some video about scalping.? many hugs and greetings from Venezuela .. you are very much appreciated see you

[@Trading212]

Thanks for reaching out, Daniel. Check out this video on Trailing Stop Orders - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2XHeo2GndJjq9E.

[@coursepremium]

thansk, i didnt seeing before ...

[@jacksonbrown2827]

Awesome vid. D. Q. Is there a time limit of when you have to close the shares that you short? Keep up the gr8 work. Happy Easter and God bless.🙋

[@davidjones2452]

Not usually - particulary if you are trading it using CFDs. You can just continue to run the trade.

[@gurkhalix418]

What programs are you using? Looks simple

[@picnicpoint9604]

Quality presentation as usual. Was the video published on the same day of the presentation?

[@Trading212]

This video was published on the 10th of January 2018.

[@austinlange4622]

Thank you for these videos!

[@andrewjenery1783]

But you've sold what you don't own; you've borrowed it, right? Are you saying that financial markets don't require you to pay back what you borrowed??

[@viktorbdevils8300]

This may be a dumb question which i'm sorry for, but If I for instance Short USDJPY at 108.350 and it goes down to 108.300 Is it required that the next trade needs to be a Buying position on USDJPY?

[@andrewjenery1783]

Is there a limit for how long you can wait for the price to go below what you sold it for?

[@TaefDewan]

Great video!

[@ABC-nh7lj]

Can You make a slow video how to do with trading 212 app go short for retired people , showing the button where to press to activate ?

[@kl8261]

Hi David I understand there is a certain timeframe to cover the short, however what’s the average day of volume when we calculate short ratio?

[@satoshibitcoin2658]

Great video, thanks a lot

[@smkahsan8032]

Thanks teacher

[@masonfasco]

But where do you get the shares to sell if you don’t have any?

[@99pav]

Shot selling can be done only on f&o right.

[@mustdiekat]

I'm a beginner. Assuming i want to sell short, the price does move up until my account moves till zero and i wait until they eventually falls. Would I still be making money when the price falls to the set price

[@TheGeo2hot]

Hi David, great video again, how do you calculate the best time to pull out a successful trade?

[@davidjones2452]

Hi - I would just use some form of trailing stop loss - so the trend change would take me out.

[@diegoriawan4195]

Hi, thank you. Great video. My question is, how long can you hold your positition, especially when your short prediction goes wrong ? I mean, for example i buy a stock at $10 (hope tht the market gonna fall to $9, and get $1 profit). But turn out in the few weeks the market keep goes up to 11 dollar. As u mentioned, if i sell in that positition i would hv loose ($1), so why dont i just keep the short and waiting (maybe for years) and hope one day the stock goes down to $9 and making profit ? Thank you

[@Trading212]

Hello Diego, you may keep your positions with CFDs open as long as you have sufficient funds on your trading account balance, or until the expiration date, in case the position is with CFDs on futures contracts.

[@hemantjain8410]

U can do that in CFD but that would be rather stupid. Cause the price going up to let’s say around 5% shows that u r wrong and u should close ur position right away. As u don’t know when or even if it will go again to ur selling price and then ur potential loss will be unlimited.

[@dapsj2]

Hi, I've sold short and seen the market drop, but my running profit/loss in the currency of the money in my trading account, fluctuates between profit and loss, despite the market remaining below my sell-short position. Can you explain why this is? Many thanks.

[@HUCERBH3947]

God finally i got it like the concept of put and call thx

[@eddieholden5318]

Why can you not trade forex in the 212 isa account?

[@ryandanger9115]

So, you need to own the stock of the company that you are shorting?

[@Trading212]

Hi Ryan, short selling on Trading 212 is available for the Forex and CFDs trading instruments. When trading CFDs you do not own the underlying asset. Read more at www.trading212.com/en/CFDs.

[@andrewjacob2773]

@@Trading212 So you borrow the underlying asset then; you don't own it as you haven't bought it.

[@mattheumm]

Thanks

[@2pz4ubz]

damn this video helped me so much thank you!

[@zsuzsaszotak564]

Hello There. I don't understand how will I buy back? I clicked to sell at £150 and when the price reached the £100 and I think it's time to "get rid off", I do and at the same price (at £100) I have to buy back immediately and sell it at a higher price than £150? For example I can sell it for £170 and my profit is £20?

[@andrytor5015]

thank you

[@ImmyMoh]

When you say "buy it back" what do you mean? Do you open a new buy position, or just close the trade once you've made your profit?

[@davidjones2452]

Hi - close the short trade, hopefully for a profit.

[@shaunokey7196]

So if you go short...you sell first then buy. So once you buy and you get profit hopefully, do you then own the shares and have to sell again once the market goes up?

[@Trading212]

Hey Shaun, once you've purchased a share, you can keep it for as long as you like. If that share, then, proceeds to go up or down in value, it's entirely up to you to choose if and when to sell it.

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

IM a dummy who just finished watching the movie "The big Short" and still have no idea what i have watched. it looked interesting but it got me hooked up into what the hell is going on in the movie. im a computer programmer so really im lost. So what i don't understand from all the explanations out there on youtube is the following : 1. *YOU* borrow 1000 shares from a *COMPANY* trading at $10 per share and immediately sells those shares to a *BUYER* ? - so i take it *YOU* don't immediately repay the shares you owe from the *COMPANY* since that wouldn't make any sense there is no profit there right ? - now the *BUYER* owns 1000 shares from the *COMPANY* . the *COMPANY* still waiting for *YOU* to pay back 1000 shares ? - now the value of the *COMPANY* drops say to $4 per share. my question is, you buy back the 1000 shares *FROM WHOM* ? from the same *BUYERS* you sold it to ? they are required to sell them back to you ? or are you simply paying back the 1000 shares you owe from the *COMPANY* based on their current value of $4 per share ? - is there a scenario where you CANT buy back the 1000 shares that you sold ? and therefore cannot close your debt with the *COMPANY* ? i know these questions are a bit dumb even for a dummy but i really have no background in economics or in business. BUT help me to satisfy my curiosity.

[@hemantjain8410]

First of All u don’t borrow anything from a company , there is an option called SELL , before even BUYING. it means u sell the stock first let’s say its current price is $100 and u think the price is gonna go down and when after some days or months it goes down to like $50 u buy . Which leaves u with $50 . You sell first and buy low

[@sosyalant]

Is there a timeline attached to the initial purchase? Like do you have a deadline?

[@davidjones2452]

No, you can usually run it as long as you want to, assuming you have enough money in your account to cover the position if it starts to move against you.

[@BCreative12]

Hello. Nice platform? Which is it? Please. Thanks! 😁

Can you also do this with crypto currencies on Coinbase?

[@desiredough4962]

How do u withdraw money from a trading 212 investing account

[@haydenharris3059]

As the presenter says, you are not buying or selling anything. The pairs are there for you to bet higher or lower on. Brokers such as 212 loan you most of the trade which is called the margin and you pay a daily interest. You always start at a loss which is called the spread. The graph is completely random to the trader so past performance is in no way a guide to the future. regards Mr Logic

[@kishanahuja5226]

Can I short EQ for long term, say I short it today and buy it after a week? or is that only for day trading?

[@Trading212]

Hi Kishan, short selling equities is not available on Trading 212. However, you can open short positions with CFD instruments.
