I found out about bitshares while talking w a friend about how services built on top of the Blockchain (colored coins at the time) we're going to change everything. I think bitshares is going to have a huge impact and am looking forward to being a part of the community

Technical Support / Re: How do I manually cover a short (in bitUSD)?

Thanks a lot for the helpful explanations. I've noticed some quirks with shorting that I couldn't find a good explanation for on the wiki:

When my short limit order is filled, it usually is for less (in bitUSD) than the total that I had asked for (although it is at the right price). What happens to the remainder of my order? Is this because my collateral was not enough (I used whatever auto filled in BTS collateral after typing in a bitUSD quantity)?
Is there a good way to see a list of my short orders that have been filled? The transactions under accounts only shows buys and sells. The transactions under Dashboard shows does howevershow my short orders and fills.
How can I see my aggregate short position? Or my net position of shorts and longs? I do see each outstanding short under cover but it doesn't specify which account it is for

I was filled on a short bitUSD order and on a buy bitUSD order (trying to make a market in small size). I now see an asset as well as a short position in bitUSD. How do I get these two positions to offset each other?

Secondly, would it be better to hold this position since yield is around 5 on the asset but lower on my short?
