You have to sell that stock short on the open market. You are too late to sell at your $85 target. The only restriction is that selling short requires an up tick on the price. So, if you are trying to get that higher price of say $85, someone in that trading would have to trigger an up tick before your sale would be absorbed. This is done to avoid massive program selling to cause a collapse in the market price meltdown like we saw in 1987.
