Shorting ETH Anonymous 2016-06-19 11:52:43 Post No. 1320316 [Report]

Hey /Biz/
Really want to short eth but this will be my first time ever doing this on poloniex margin trader so I have no experience or clue of what I am really doing and came here for some help.
I read that you're "borrowing" funds so is there a limit with how much I can borrow or does it depend with how much I transfer to my margin account? I currently have about 0.5BTC and can see Eth going from $15 to $5.
If this happens and I short now, what would my return be if I used up the 0.5BTC in my account to place the short at $15.
and when I place the short, do I do it for the price it is currently at?

any help would be awesome and yes I have read the poloniex margin trader information but came here to get more clarity out of it... maybe examples would help me out too.

cheers homies

If you buy DAO you get 2 eth for the price of 1. Plus the capital growth too.
