The mainstream opinion is that if you do too much, you will only lose the capital you have invested, that is, for example, from 10000 to 0 (no leverage); However, if you are short, because the rising price of stocks can be infinite theoretically, then if you are short at 1000 yuan 1000 shares (the same as 10000 yuan, and there is no leverage), the stock price will rise to 1000 yuan, and a loss will be needed to cover the position/kloc-0.

Of course, few people will insist on being empty for so long. If used properly, shorting can also make money. So I think the risk of shorting is not much greater than the risk of going long, or it depends on the trend direction at that time.

What's more, in the foreign exchange market, if you do more A currency in a currency pair, it means that you don't have any tendency to short B currency. Is it less risky to do more A than B?

Right?
