In the futures market, no matter whether you are long or short, you can get profits, but at the same time there are high risks, because the market will not run completely according to investors' expectations.

The specific reasons are as follows:

Futures long is an operation in which investors in the futures market expect the market price to rise, buy futures contracts at the current price, and then sell them in the future to obtain income.

Short selling futures is an operation in which investors in the futures market expect the market price to fall, sell futures contracts at the current price, and then buy contracts in the future to gain income.
