ProBit Global Contract Short Selling Tutorial

Contract short selling, also known as shorting, is an advanced trading strategy that allows traders to profit from a decline in the price of an asset. By shorting a contract, the trader essentially borrows the asset from the exchange and agrees to sell it back at a later date. If the price of the asset falls, the trader can buy it back at a lower price and return it to the exchange, pocketing the difference as profit.

Short selling can be a risky but potentially rewarding strategy. However, it is important to understand the risks involved before you begin shorting contracts.
