A Beginner’s Guide To Futures Trading (App)

In futures trading, you can participate in market movements and make a profit by going long or short on a futures contract.

 

By going long, a trader buys a futures contract with the expectation that it will rise in value in the future.

 

Conversely, a trader sells a futures contract to go short, to bet on prices to decline in the future.
