TRADING STOCKS UNDER SHORT SALE RESTRICTION (SSR)

Short selling restriction, also known as SSR, is a rule that came out in 2010 also referred as the alternate uptick rule, which means that you can only short a stock on an uptick. This rule restricts the ability to short a stock as it’s dropping down. SSR is triggered when a stock is down 10% or more from the previous day close. Regulators and exchanges restrict short selling of the stock when its price is dropping. This rule was designed to prevent downward volatility.
