regarding stock short selling

recreation · Nov 16th, 2012, 00:53

Hi guys,

Does anyone here have experience of short selling Canadian stock through TD Water House? I am thinking about open an account with them, but I have some concerns regarding the short selling:
1, when you place a short sell order through the web broker, how long does it take to get the order go through showing a "open" status?
2, later on, can the short sell order be changed (I know it can be cancelled) online? If only change the price, will it take the same amount of time as placing a new short order? Or it will be done right away since only the price has been changed, and it has nothing to do with the inventory.

Thanks in advance.

This is not the place to ask these kinds of questions. The people appears to be experts here are real 250s.

stay away from short selling, unless you're hedging your other investment or options, or shorting leveraged ETF.
To answer ur questions, TD is pretty quick to change the status to open if there is stock to borrow, like a minnute.
If u change the order, most time u have to wait again for td to reevaluate your order. Make sure u have enough margin, u don't want be forced covered.( They do call u though.)
