Hi toknormal,
thanks for the analysis.
I got used to the unfortunate habit of crypto guys saying "short" when they mean they simply "sold".
Are talking about real shorts when you talk about being short? On Bitfinex?
LoL !
Your right - it's a "pseudo short". I "borrowed" the Dash from my own 'market maker' account and am about to return it

If it works out enough times I might actually play with 'real bullets' one day


Thanks!
You never know...I do not have a Bitfinex account, but you can do real BTC shorts there, as far as I know, so would have been possible...
