How to make money by shorting stocks?
There are two ways to make money by shorting:

The first one is carried out in a securities company and needs to pay interest to the securities company. It is divided into the following steps.

Step 1: The investment amount reaches the amount required by the securities company where you open an account. Now the market is depressed, generally 500 thousand is enough;

Step 2: open a credit account and sign an agreement to allow you to carry out securities lending operations;

Step 3: transfer the funds in the ordinary securities account to the credit securities account according to the required amount;

Step 4: Understand the securities borrowed by securities companies and choose short selling among them.

Step 5: After buying the securities and returning them, settle the principal and interest with the securities company.

The second method is carried out in futures companies, and the threshold required is relatively high. If the capital is more than 1 10,000, or if you have experience in commodity futures trading above 10 within two years, you can open a financial futures trading account for stock index futures. Each futures brokerage company requires a different margin ratio. Generally speaking, the leverage ratio is six times.

It is recommended to engage in securities lending transactions first.
