Oden67, You short stocks in a type 3 acct. which is a margin acct. but you don't automatically get a margin call if the stock goes against you unless you had margined your overall account to take the position and the price movement of the stock exceeded your margin limits on that day. Does that make sense and help???? Daisy

I have some links somewhere which go into great detail about how to determine your buying power and when you exceed your limits and I'll try to locate them (and others which explain margin) and post them. When you have a margin account, you are set up to borrow funds from your broker. There are rules which govern how much you are permitted to trade each day (intraday) and the impact of holding longs/shorts overnight. Each day, you start with a certain "buying power" which DOES NOT CHANGE for the day, even if you sell securities from the prior day. If you exceed the limits, you get a "margin call" which requires that you deposit funds to make up the shortfall. Where people screw up is when they sell holdings from prior days and think they can turn right around and buy the same security back, even though their buying power is under the re-purchase amount. The rules call for the sale to "clear" before recognizing the funds for re-purchase. I'm pretty new at this, so I'll let others explain and I'll limit my efforts to finding good links!
