Which are the two positions I can take in a futures contract?

With a futures contract, you can either take a long position or a short position. 

  • Long position: You intend to buy the asset in future. This is done when traders expect that the underlying stock’s price will rise in the future. 
  • Short position: You intend to sell the asset in future. This is done when traders expect that the underlying stock’s price will fall in the future.
