This is one reason they invented index futures - you don't have to sell tons
of stocks, just sell some futures as a "substitute" sale hedge

Say you have a $50,000 account. Very roughly speaking, trading 100% invested
in stocks but without margin is about equivalent to trading about 2 emini SP
contracts. This is just a ballpark thing. More exact calculations can be
made by looking at the Average True Range for whatever stock versus the
Futures, and comparing the likely dollar swings.
