The cost is shown as an interest rate to borrow those shares and depends upon the supply of shares available to borrow and the demand from other short sellers to borrow shares. Before accepting your order, Lime Trading provides an indicative borrow rate, which is a preliminary estimate of the borrow rate at the time of the order. Note that borrow rates fluctuate daily along with supply and demand for the shares and that the actual borrow rate can be determined only when the necessary shares have been sourced on settlement date
