What are bulls and bears?
Long and short refers to:

1, long:

Long position, commonly known as long buying, generally means that investors are bullish in the futures market, then buy futures contracts and earn profits after the price rises. In addition, in all the receipts and payments of the bank that day, the income is greater than the expenditure, which is called "multi-warehouse". If the expenditure is greater than the income, it is called "short position"

2. Short position:

Short positions are investment positions generated by selling short positions. Since this position has not been written off, it can benefit from the decline in market prices. That is, investors put forward the selling price in advance because they expect the price to fall, or make selling more than buying.

Extended data:

The position date is divided into the first position date, etc. And most of them refer to the day when the money is used. Bulls believe that the price of stock index futures contracts will rise, so they will buy; On the contrary, bears think that the price of stock index futures contracts is high and will fall in the future, so they sell them.

In the stock market, buyers are also called bulls and sellers are called bears. But in stock trading, the seller must have stocks to sell, and people without stocks can't sell them. In stock index futures trading, it is different. Futures contracts can be sold without corresponding to a basket of stocks. The difference between the two is essentially the difference between spot and futures.
