Buy Or Short-Sell Anytime

Buy Or Short-Sell Anytime
When trading stocks, short-selling is only allowed with an uptick, so it can be very frustrating for traders to wait and see their stocks trend downward, while waiting for an uptick. In the futures market, there is a limit down/limit up rule which kicks in when the contract value declines or increases by more than a certain percentage from the previous day’s close. However, in the forex market, you can short a currency pair anytime without having to wait for any upticks, and this translates to a more efficient and instant order execution.
