  Yes, Ameritrade allows short selling of digital assets on their platform. You can freely engage in short selling of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets without any restrictions. It's a great way to take advantage of market downturns and potentially profit from falling prices. Just make sure to understand the risks involved and have a solid trading strategy in place.

  Short selling of digital assets on Ameritrade is not only allowed but also encouraged. It provides traders with the opportunity to profit from both rising and falling markets. However, it's important to note that short selling involves borrowing assets and selling them in the hope of buying them back at a lower price. This strategy carries its own risks, so it's crucial to have a good understanding of the market and proper risk management in place.
