Can I short stocks on Webull?

Yes. You need a margin account and your margin equity must be no less than $2,000.


1) Check if the stock you are interested in is shortable. Stocks available for short selling have a blue downward arrow icon at the top right corner of the stock detail page.

2) Tap the "Trade" button on the bottom left.

3) Select "Short" for the "Side" of the order.

4) Fill in the remaining required fields and submit your order


Once the order is executed, the short position will be displayed under the 'My Positions' section on the 'Assets' page, which can be accessed from the main Webull homepage, marked by a negative quantity.

*The term "equity" means the customer's ownership interest in the account, computed by adding the current market value of all securities "long" and the amount of any credit balance and subtracting the current market value of all securities "short" and the amount of any debit balance.


**Margin trading increases risk of loss and includes the possibility of a forced sale if account equity drops below required levels.
