Best way to replicate short selling? The platform gives you an error message if you use negative quantities for the stocks, so my method is to simulate short selling as a stock being delivered to me and then sold immediately by me for cash. When I want to close the position I buy it back then send an outward delivery. The only problem is that PP does not consider this to have been a trade. Any suggestions? How do people here replicate short selling?
Just sell it (resulting in a negative number of stocks), then buy it back.
Yes, short selling is not fully supported, but that only affects performance calculations, trades etc.
