Shorting Safely: Tips for Minimizing Risk

Now that we’ve identified stocks that meet our screening criteria, here are some practical steps to help manage your short positions safely.

• Look for Rallies that Stall: Rather than jumping in at the bottom, try to short into a rally that is losing momentum. This reduces the likelihood of getting caught in a sharp rebound.
• Set Profit Targets: Unlike long trades, where you might hold for an extended uptrend, short trades should have clear profit targets. These targets are points where we either take full or partial profits or tighten our stops to lock in gains.
• Consider the Borrowing Cost: Remember, when you short, you’re borrowing the stock, which comes with costs. These fees eat into your profits, so it’s wise to treat short positions as shorter-term trades.
