The way to sell futures is basically the same as the way to buy futures, except that the order is pending when selling, that is, the higher the selling price, the more money you will make in the future. When we sell futures, our operation at this time is called shorting, that is, the futures company pays a sum of money to the settlement institution of the exchange as a performance bond, and then if we lose money by selling empty orders, the deposit will be deducted accordingly, otherwise it will be increased.

After selling the futures contract, our liquidation is called buying, that is, the exchange will take out an extra order to offset with us when we close the position. Of course, in futures trading, we must pay attention to closing our positions before the maturity date, otherwise our positions will be converted into physical objects in the future. If investors trade stock index futures, they will eventually take the form of cash delivery and then allocate positions directly. To sum up, this is the way to sell futures.

Futures, whose English name is futures, is completely different from spot. Spot is actually a tradable commodity. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments.

The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.

A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.

One of the biggest differences between futures trading and stock market is that futures can be traded in both directions, and futures can be long or short. When the price rises, you can buy low and sell high, and when the price falls, you can sell high and buy low. Going long can make money, and shorting can also make money, so there is no bear market in futures. In a bear market, the stock market will be suppressed, while the futures market will remain unchanged and opportunities will still exist. )
