Man..! You are awesome. This is the sort teaching I was looking for. Thanks a millions. I had no idea how to grasp the concept of selling an item that is not at hand.
...I doubled my investment in 3 months by waiting for price to fall then selling high...now I find out I could have been trading while its falling?? Dammit! You're great at explaining things.
Sir, this video is a light in the dark, i couldnt ever have found this information as undestandable as you put it on the table. Thank you so much, God Bless you sir.
Frankly, you have to qualify to borrow a share, and to short in effort to make money one must borrow a significant amount of shares, without a lot of other shareholders realizing. Basically, this demands insider information that most other shareholders dont know.
Why do you have to do it without a lot of other shareholdes realizing? And why does it demand insider information (can't a trader simply evalute the market and come to the belief that the particular shares are going to go down?).
Very nice Video. However where short selling is concerned, i have a very good idea. But i get lost when it comes to closing out the short sale and then buying back at a lower price. Do i just buy back at a lower price and then the amount is deducted automatically by the broker??? Or do i need to physically pay the broker back. So lost after getting to the targeted price.
i am using the demo, but cannot take profit without setting yhe "take profit". So how do you close a short without setting this as it can be a very quick trade.
If it is an 'execution only' service, does that mean I automatically 'buy' back those shares, when I exit the trade, or do I physically have to place another 'Buy'? I really want more nuts-and-bolts advice, without the assumption that I already know a lot. I appreciate the fact that these teaching videos ARE out here, but would appreciate a lot more detail.
Execution-only means they can't advise you on what to buy and sell, or when to buy and sell it. All decisions must be your own. If you don't understand this, then you shouldn't be short-selling anything.
Hi sir thanks for the video. I would like to know what exactly we are selling when we short-sell. The way I understand it, we are loaning the securities, then we sell them, and then buy them at a lower price. We then take our profit and return the assets to the owner. So is it the same concept? Are we loaning the assets from the broker and then selling them - to other traders, only to buy them back later?
The bit I don’t understand when trading, is how long do you leave the trade to run for? Do you run out of time after 1hr? Or can you leave the trade to keep running for days until it goes down or up? and does it keep running until you end it?
Hi Kerrie, in relation to CFD trading, you may keep your positions open as long as you have sufficient funds on your trading account, or until the expiration date for positions with CFDs on futures contracts.
What are typical fees for doing this kind of transaction? I've short sold one stock of TSLA to get a feel for it, but stupidly assumed the commission fee for it would just be a tad higher. Apparently, fees can be applied but the explanation from by broker was not so clear.

Hi, So when you say you buy 10 of gold...what do you mean by that...like 10 onces of gold or 10 positions? and how do you know how much this 10 of gold are gonna cost you? (Im new to proper trading) Appreciate any answer, thanks!
Hi, Pawel. Gold is measured in USD per troy ounce. The margin and the result in your trading account convert into your account's currency, if different. You can calculate the required margin per position by using the formula: Margin per position = Price x Quantity x Margin per instrument (listed at www.trading212.com/en/Trading-Instruments) Alternatively, you can use the web app at www.trading212.com to calculate it automatically. Simply log in to your trading account from a computer. Open a detailed trade box with your instrument of choice. Enter quantity. The required margin will appear in the section called "Margin and swap details".
Sounds silly but I am new to this,How does it work so if I buy a stock ,how do I make money every year like Warren Buffett?Because I paid for a stock it’s only gone up by 0.10p So do I sell that and make 10p or how do I leave it and cash in every year like the Professionals do year in year out.
Hi, Kofi. Thanks for sharing your idea. You can take a look at these videos covering the support and resistance lines topic: How to Read Charts - ua-cam.com/video/wULaNaeJWqc/v-deo.html How to Trade Breakouts - ua-cam.com/video/yGfAUia6b_g/v-deo.html
There must be someone on the other side willing to borrow the shares to sell in first place. How does that work? That person must be then rewarded for borrowing the shares for the duration of the short trade.
I really do not understand. If you have a stock that is worth $100, and you think the price will fall, you sell the stock. So you have $100 in your hand (so to speak). The price drops to $75, and you buy the stock back. So now you have $25 in your hand, and stock worth $75. $25 + $75 = $100. That's what you started with when you sold the stock for $100. How have you made any money!!
@Daryl Titsworth Thanks that was a marvellous explanation. The 'explanation' in the film was very superficial. It seems to me that the person whose shares were sold without their knowledge were not exactly being 'looked after' by their broker, unless they get some cut of the proceeds from the short sell. Is this the case?
lol if any of us knew that,either way,hoping for up or short selling we would be billionaires. No one can time the market perfectly. If you could,men in suits would eventually be knocking on your door to ask you how you do it.:D
He missed out the crucial detail that the short seller BORROWS the shares to begin with. Example. I am a trader who think shares in Company X are going to go down. You are a trader who has shares in Company X. I ask you to lend me 100 of those shares. You agree, because you know and trust me, and because I pay you a fee so you profit from the deal. Let's say the shares are worth $10 at the time you lend them to me. I then sell the shares to Bob, another trader, for $1000 (100 shares x $10). My thinking on the shares going down turns out to be correct. They plummet to $5 a share. I now buy 100 shares (from Sue, another trader) costing me $500. I give you these shares. I profit $500 (minus the fee I paid you for borrowing the shares in the first place.
Man..! You are awesome.
This is the sort teaching I was looking for. Thanks a millions.
I had no idea how to grasp the concept of selling an item that is not at hand.

Hi Dave, I understand the concept, but there is no "Sell" option on Trader 212 Tutorial. Do I need to go live? How can I practice?
Frankly, you have to qualify to borrow a share, and to short in effort to make money one must borrow a significant amount of shares, without a lot of other shareholders realizing. Basically, this demands insider information that most other shareholders dont know.

Hello I can't seem to seel on an instrument only buy. Any chance where to change the settings please? Thanks very much.
you have to be on your CFD account not invest
Hi. In Daytrading, how to select stocks for Shorting/Short selling at any point of the day?
Do you mean we can go short on shares?
The bit I don’t understand when trading, is how long do you leave the trade to run for? Do you run out of time after 1hr? Or can you leave the trade to keep running for days until it goes down or up? and does it keep running until you end it?
Hi Kerrie, in relation to CFD trading, you may keep your positions open as long as you have sufficient funds on your trading account, or until the expiration date for positions with CFDs on futures contracts.
Thanks for answering my question ! 😄
What about the stop loss?
But can we short sell shares?

You can only short sell CFD not real stocks. You might as well bet on horse racing while you are at it.
There must be someone on the other side willing to borrow the shares to sell in first place. How does that work? That person must be then rewarded for borrowing the shares for the duration of the short trade.
Does this work for crypto currency trading as well?
Hi Matt. Yes, you can short sell cryptocurrencies on Trading 212.
Great thank you!!
short is not possible anymore with trading 212
nice
Hi. Do you have to have an open position on the stock first before selling?
Hi, Alex. You can sell first in order to buy later on. This is called short selling and is explained in the video.
Are you the Davy Jones in the "Pirates of the caribbean" movie?

@@hughtierneytierney3585 I think it relies on the broker, therefore you, theyvwould be under some kind of insurance
How do u get a perfect entry point???
Hi, Andile. You can take a look at this video about placing entry orders: ua-cam.com/video/Ig0jIgIS3ks/v-deo.html.
