#WriteToEarnUpgrade $📉 How to *Short* $AT (Apro)
Shorting a small-cap token like **AT** depends entirely on whether any exchanges offer:
### ✅ **1. Margin trading with borrowable AT**
You can short only if the exchange allows you to *borrow AT* and sell it.
Check your exchange for:
* **Margin trading**
* **Borrow/loan availability for AT**
* **Futures markets (AT-perp)**
### 🔍 Current situation (likely)
Because AT is a relatively new/small asset, **most major exchanges *do not offer* AT futures or margin-borrow support yet.**
If your exchange doesn’t show **AT/USDT Margin** or **AT Perpetual Futures**, then *shorting directly is not possible*.

# 📉 Alternative Ways to Short Exposure
If AT isn’t shortable directly:
### **Option A — Short a correlated asset**
Doesn’t give perfect exposure, but if AT pumps with the altcoin market, you can hedge by shorting:
* **BTC**
* **ETH**
* **Altcoin index perpetuals (e.g., ALTS-PERP)**
### **Option B — Use inverse ETFs (if your platform offers them)**
Some platforms offer inverse crypto baskets.
### **Option C — Hold stablecoins instead of AT**
If you were planning to buy AT but expect downside, simply not holding it is effectively reducing exposure.

# ⚠️ Key Risks (Important)
Shorting small tokens is very risky due to:
* **Low liquidity** → slippage & forced liquidation
* **High volatility** → sudden 30–70% wicks
* **Exchange delisting risk**
* **Borrow fees** (if margin is allowed)
A sudden spike could liquidate your position quickly.
