Hi
I used to short at bitfinex and have some idea how to short BTC but I had to close the account at bitfinex for some reason
Now I tried shorting at binance but unlike bitfinix I actually had to "Borrow" funds at a cost despite I have sufficient USDT in wallet.
Am I going in right direction or is there any other way to short without actually taking borrow.
yes that's the way you have to be in a position to be bigger than your safe amount. Each exchange will have different functions and you should read carefully before trading. But borrowing coins to trade is also quite good, we will be able to hit bigger on the chance of having a high percentage of winning. It is also a way to make a lot of money if you know how to use financial leverage well.
