| MaiHuong | Long to every short, what does this mean? |
| achu | It means "buyer" (Long holding) and seller to every SHORT. |
| bobert | A person who sells a contract is considered short the contract, and a person who buys a contract is long the position. A long position will pay money to the short for the underlying asset at the expiration of the contract, and the short position will receive the money for the underlying asset. |
| ankurwa10 | @MaiHuong - It means buyer to every seller. Long - Buy; Short- Sell (remember it as short-selling, so Short stands for selling, and long stands for buying) |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
