So, if I'm understanding this correctly, traders can put in any amount of shares they want to buy and/or sell?
When I place a buy order I have to have the total $ amount in my account. And, when I place a sell order I can only sell up to the amount of shares in my account.
Btw, I've never sold short so, I don't know how that works.
