You have to have a margin account to short. What they are talking about is not using the extra buying power. For example if you send Datek 5,000.00 cash then you have 10,000.00 buying (or shorting) power. To avoid trouble you should only trade up to 5,000.00. Trading all of the buying power can really hurt (twice as fast) when the market goes against you.
