What is Short Position?

Basics

숏 포지션

A holding that profits when the price falls. It exists in structures such as futures or securities lending, where one borrows and sells first. Unlike a long, there is no upper limit on price, so the loss is theoretically unlimited, and a rush of demand to buy back can make a rise abrupt.
