F#$ing bullshit

I was long hig 300 shares of hig.
I see a triangle pattern going to the down side
the resistance was 30.
so I put in a sell stop order @29.85 for 1000 shares (making it 700 short when it hits my stop and the 300 to cover)
so what happens?
it falls, my shares get covered but I don't get the rest of the 700 fill. I mean WTF :mad:
 
HIG is not shortable, but in the future---

You can't "sell" and "short" on the same order ticket (your order would have been a 700 share "oversell" and thus a violation).

Should have entered a 300 share sell stop order followed by a 700 share short order.

Quote from newtothis:

are all stocks not shortable or just the 800 or so?

Anything related to financials and some which are not.

MMM is shortable but IBM is not.

Pretty screwed up.
