Trading orders that sell goods short are called empty orders. Simply put, futures trading involves three things: a contract, buying (contract or actual commodity) and selling (contract or actual commodity). If you are the buyer in the contract, selling (contract or actual goods) will complete a profit and loss transaction after the contract is performed, while if you are the seller in the contract, you must buy (contract or actual goods) or sell what you own before or during the contract performance, and you will also complete a profit and loss transaction. The deposit (usually 00% of the transaction amount of 65438+) is used to ensure that the buyer must buy at the contract price and the seller must sell at the contract price during the contract period. To put it bluntly, shorting futures is to be a seller in the contract and want to complete the trading behavior of selling high and buying low.
