How to place a short position?

[arnonmoscona]

Hi!

I'm new to NJ, so forgive the possibly silly question. Looking at the order windows and the SuperDOM, I see the ability to buy and sell. That's great, but how do I short and cover? I saw that you can do it in NinjaScript, but I don't see how to do it manually...

For instance, suppose I want to say "sell short @ $21.00" (short with limit). How do I do this?

Thanks

Hi arnonmoscona,

Thanks for your post.

One would enter a short position manually by placing a sell order. That short position could be covered by buying back the same number of units.
