Wow bm, I never would've thought of that! So it's like buying low and selling high...only in reverse: shorting high then covering low, right? That's pretty awesome.
Arhag: I appreciate the math lesson, but I'll be damned if I understand a word you're saying lol. Appreciate the input; hopefully it helps others who are more math inclined.
Thanks all for your input! But I'm still curious what would happen if I were to try shorting my entire wallet balance...the order goes to market, but there wouldn't be enough collateral to support it...would the order just not place or something?
