1, short selling:

Short selling also sells empty. Short selling is a common operation mode in stock futures market. It is expected that the stock futures market will have a downward trend. The operator will sell his chips at the market price and then buy them after the stock futures fall to earn the middle price difference.

2. Short:

Short selling, also known as "long-term trading", is a speculative activity in which traders use borrowed funds to buy futures in the market in order to sell them at a high price in the future when prices rise, and it is also the symmetry of short selling.

Extended data:

In the modern securities market, short selling transactions are generally carried out by using margin accounts. When a trader thinks that the stock price is rising, he borrows money from a securities company and buys stock futures by paying part of the deposit. The stocks bought by traders can't be taken away, and will be deposited in securities companies as collateral for loans.

If the stock price really rises in the future, when it reaches a certain level, he will sell the stock to the market at a high price and return part of the proceeds to the securities company for loans, thus ending his short position.

Traders profit by buying and selling the difference between two transactions. Of course, if the trend of the market share price is contrary to the trader's prediction, then the short seller will not only be unprofitable, but also suffer losses.
