Question
Are there restrictions on ‘Short Sales’ transactions?

Answer

Due to restrictions implemented by the institutions FXChoice operates with, some shares may be restricted to be ‘sold short’.

Short sale restrictions do not impede the closing of a position. However, it does stop the opening of new short sale positions. FXChoice may not proactively contact clients on positions that may have short sale restrictions.

You may see the error message ‘Trade is Disabled’ on the MetaTrader terminal, but this should not be considered an official communication from FXChoice of a short sell restriction.
