Shorting Single Stock Futures Explained in 25 Seconds

With single stock futures, going short works exactly like going long: one order, one contract, no borrowing required. Traditional short selling means your broker has to locate and lend you shares, a process that gets restricted, expensive, or impossible on hard-to-borrow names, and a short squeeze can force you to cover at the worst time. Trading single stock futures on NinjaTrader eliminates that tedious process entirely, since you're never borrowing shares, so there's no borrow fee and no lender can recall your position. NinjaTrader offers security futures products. Security futures are not suitable for everyone.
