Concepts to Understand
Short Selling:
Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own. Short sellers assume the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which they sold short.
A futures contract makes unfavourable price movements less unfavourable and a favourable price movements less favourable!
If you are going to receive/buy something in the future but want to lock in a secured price, you take a long position.
A Forward Contract underlies the same principles as a future contract, besides the aspect of non-standardization. Thus, a detail illustration is not necessary as I already elaborated in the mechanism of the futures contract.
