// TRADING TERMINOLOGY
What is Short Position?
Selling an asset (or a contract) with the expectation that its value will decrease.
In-Depth Explanation
Shorting allows you to profit from falling prices. You are effectively selling something you don't own, intending to "buy it back" later at a lower price.
Practical Example
"A trader shorts the FTSE 100 at 7800, expecting it to drop to 7600."
