This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

Hi Vivek, try to think of a problem someone might face in short-selling. Just asking for strategies is a bit broad for a Stack Exchange site, and is likely to be closed as not constructive. If you can think of a problem one might face, edit your question with that instead. Good luck! :) – jmort253 Sep 10 '12 at 4:47

Look up Timothy Sykes. He has taken short selling to an art form. – Frank Tudor Feb 5 at 17:37

@jmort253 agree with you, questions like this will rather be closed in 5 minutes. Now my input is: if the markes is up buy more, short less. If the industry of the stock you are seeing is down, its probably a good option for shorting. Always compare your stock with index and industries and check on the intraday for a good entry. – Luis Valencia Munoz Apr 10 at 12:16

	Asking for advice is generally not well suited to SE sites, which expect specific, answerable questions. – ashes999 Nov 7 '12 at 12:01
	I was just proposing an example question – TeamGB Nov 8 '12 at 9:31

	Since this is currency related and not 'stock' related, it would make sense to find a better stack area 51 project or considering pioneering one. Let's keep it stocks only. :) – Frank Tudor Feb 5 at 17:44
	I have proposed that this area51 site be merged witth the stock trading area51 site, and that the name should be changed to cover a bigger umbrella, something like: Stock, Options, FUtures and Forex Trading. At the end technical trading its the same for all and strategies are valid for all. Only fundamental concepts are different – Luis Valencia Munoz Apr 10 at 12:17

I am not sure I understand. I have always thought it was the exchanges themselves that made it difficult. I have never had a problem getting data. Maybe you are talking about something more specific? – Frank Tudor Apr 4 at 20:16
