So I was wondering if do short, does it also apply the same way?

In most cases you will have to wait for the T+4 days to have your limits restored.  But your remisier could provide you additional trading limits if you make further arrangement by ringing him up.

But if i want to intra-day naked short, i need to sell 1st then buy back on the same day ma, so do i need to check the contra button during sell time or buy time? Please kindly advise.

Playing the stock market is like doing the 'Obstacle Course'...

Some stations can be very slippery and difficult to overcome...  hehehe...

 

Comrade, agreed both stretegies. However, the path for Con n B is not absolutely smooth yet, as the path is still rocky n with slopes along d way. As for B for Long, there r numerous good highways for choosing, moreover, there r emergency vehicle support along d way as well.

Again both "Y" apply liao. Cheers.

Can explain more detail on CFD and Put Warrant?

 

Sekali you naked short and the counter kenna halt, (or the market suspend trading because crash! example only lah) then you will kenna fine.

If want to shart, pls get CFD account lah. Or buy put warrants.

Unless you have some holding, you can play play during market correction by selling at opening, then bid your time to have highest spread...
