Make sure to learn about the risks and economic behaviour: http://www.sovereignhero.com/buy-sell-short-hero/

I will just cover the easiest possible way, you are responsible for your decisions.

First of all, Click Switch to Advanced Mode

Visit: https://openledger.io/market/HERO_BTS

  1. Click BORROW HERO

In order to Borrow HERO, you need to lock away 2.25x the value of BitShares
See Economic Model/Risks and why this works: http://www.sovereignhero.com/buy-sell-short-hero/

So this is a bit trial and error, depending on how much BitShares you want to use to create HERO.

  2. Set the Slider to AT LEAST 2.25
  3. Click Update Position
  4. Confirm
