The point of my question:

For short-term traders it may not matter much, but you pay interest to the broker for the loan of shares for shorting. If you use a "boxing" strategy as described, where you basically always have a short position open, the margin interest can become a non-trivial cost that you wouldn't pay if you simply went flat rather than "box".
