Echuca Trading Futures Trading Guide - App Version

In futures trading, you can profit from market price fluctuations by going long or short on a contract. On Echuca Trading Futures, you can also use leverage when going long or short to hedge risks or profit in volatile market conditions.

What does it mean to go long or short?

In the spot market, traders can only profit from rising asset prices. With futures, however, you have the opportunity to make a profit regardless of whether the asset price goes up or down.

• If you choose to go long, it means you expect the contract price to rise.
• Conversely, if you choose to go short, it means you sell the contract, anticipating its value will decrease.

Here are examples to help you understand how to profit from going long or short on futures contracts:
