I was charged a ridiculous overnight short fee

Brutal charges... If I can't use (long) options to bet against, or with, these stocks I just don't trade 'em. But I guess I'm just a scaredy cat... :p
 
Which day of the week did you short? You got to remember there is the T+2 settlement

how T+2 settlement affects the short fee? if I just hold one overnight, you mean the broker will charge 3 days?

It is completely straightforward and not hidden. It has been this way since the first time i checked Tradezero.

The puzzle is why anyone would use Tradezero to short stocks on these terms and why it makes sense for Tradezero to keep this term since it should scare every sane prospective short trading client away.
 
This really seems crazy. Would love to see a response from Tradezero.
It is not crazy if you took the time to learn about shorting.

PS Love is not a word usually associated with Wall Street.
