We’ll first learn how to open a new short, how to close it out once the time comes, and then finally we’ll learn how to use the Active Trader tool to make the entire process so much quicker.
Selling shares is essentially selling shares of stock you don't own. Then hoping to repurchase those shares at a much lower price at a later date. There isn't a special short button within thinkorswim, you simply create a sell ticket.

Thank you! Glad to hear they're helping!
Very well explained, thank you.
Great video, so helpful, thank you!!
Thank you!
Good video BUT how to short a stock you already own some of its shares without selling actual shares?
What I can’t believe is that you never explain how to ascertain if the stock you’re looking to short on TOS can in fact be shorted. Are there shares available to short or not? You’d think that would come up somewhere.
Can you do a video for the mobile app please. Thank you
Question , with the ema and small. Can I use it in think or swim on the phone. I try it and it's going under the rsi chart
Great video! Thank you, I have a question , if I put a buy or sell stop? It's only tigger when rich that price? For ejemplo if I want Locke some profit
If you wanted to lock in profit on the short you generally be setting a buy limit somewhere below the price you originally sold for. The buy stop would go above to exit at your loss
Where do you find the cost per share to short on TOS?
Thank you for the video! Can you short only with Margin account? I have cash account, does it mean broker won’t borrow me a stock? Should I actually buy the stock first to sell it and only then buy back to make a profit, if I am on cash account?
You can’t short stocks or anything on cash account.
Buying and then selling is not shorting.
Apply for a margin and short away
Can I do this on a cash account with only $2000.00?
Nope, you’ll have to have margin enabled to short

For most part TOS does not seem "user friendly" at all. I've been using it for over a year and while I've managed to figure the charts out, to a certain extent, the rest of it feels like I'm trying to solve a Rubik's Cube all the time. It would be substantially better if they had "help" icons to click on throughout the entire app. I'm still using the TDA classic website platform to write my orders... It's user friendly.
