Please only use advanced trading modes when you know how freqtrade (and your strategy) works.
Also, never risk more than what you can afford to lose.
## Shorting
Shorting is not possible when trading with [`trading_mode`](#understand-tradingmode) set to `spot`. To short trade, `trading_mode` must be set to `margin`(currently unavailable) or [`futures`](#futures), with [`margin_mode`](#margin-mode) set to `cross`(currently unavailable) or [`isolated`](#isolated-margin-mode)
For a strategy to short, the strategy class must set the class variable `can_short = True`
## Understand `trading_mode`
The possible values are: `spot` (default), `margin`(*Currently unavailable*) or `futures`.
