  Short selling digital currencies on Ameritrade can be a profitable strategy for experienced traders. To engage in short selling, you need to have a margin account with Ameritrade. Once you have the account, you can borrow digital currencies from Ameritrade and sell them on the market. If the price of the digital currency drops, you can buy it back at a lower price and return it to Ameritrade, making a profit from the price difference. However, it's important to note that short selling involves risks, as the price of digital currencies can also rise, leading to potential losses.
