Short option not available for traders.

[nus-pe-bot]

Since this application is for traders who prefer using command line interface, the entire experience also involves selling the stock without owning it - shorting the stock (in anticipation of falling price in the future such that the same stock can be bought at a lower price, and give profits to the broker). The application has no provision for this.

As our target user is for peple who never traded stocks before, our aim is to get them familar with just buying and selling of stocks. Short selling is an advanced strategy and we don't find it useful for beginners to delve into it.
