A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Long and Short Contract Operations

Today, some friends have inquired about basic questions: What are the core principles of short selling and going long? This illustration is made to help everyone understand.

1. Short Selling and Short Mechanism#

Short Selling: Predicting that market prices will fall
Short: Selling behavior based on the short judgment (short selling cannot be done directly in the spot market, it must be realized through futures/contracts)

Short Position Analysis
When investors believe the current coin price is overvalued and predict it will fall in the future, they adopt a "sell first, buy later" strategy:

  1. Mortgage margin to borrow tokens (e.g., mortgage 2 yuan to borrow 1 token worth 10 yuan)
  2. Immediately sell the borrowed tokens at the market price of 10 yuan
  3. Wait for the coin price to drop to 5 yuan, then buy back the tokens for 5 yuan to return
  4. Net profit of 5 yuan difference (interest on the loan must be deducted)

⚠️ Risk Warning: If the coin price rises in the opposite direction, the margin may be forcibly liquidated (liquidation), resulting in a total loss of principal.

2. Bullish and Long Strategies#

Bullish: Predicting that market prices will rise
Long: Trading behavior that profits from "buying low and selling high" (the main profit method in the spot market)

Long Position Example
Taking SOL as an example:

  1. Buy and hold when the current price is 140 U
  2. Sell when the price rises to 280 U
  3. Achieve a profit of 140 U price difference

📌 Key Points:

  • Bulls/Bears represent the expected direction of market participants
  • The two form the basic logic of the market's two-way game
