Short selling futures refers to selling standard contracts at the price after the futures market falls, buying them when the market falls, and profiting from the price difference. Simply put, as the seller in the contract, it is to complete the trading behavior of selling high and buying low. A futures contract is a sales contract to be delivered at a specific time in the future, and shorting is the seller of the contract. Short selling is characterized by selling when the price is high and buying when the price is low, thus earning the difference. The opposite of shorting is to do more. If investors think that futures prices will go up, they will buy futures. This method is also called "buying and opening positions", and its purpose is to sell products when prices rise and earn the difference.

Is futures a stock?

Futures are not stocks. Futures refer to commodities that can be actually traded. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products and financial assets, so the subject matter in futures trading can be a commodity. Share refers to a part of the ownership of a joint-stock company. It is a securities issued by a joint-stock company to each controlling shareholder in order to raise funds and receive dividends.
