Long & short

Yes, you can make money when gold falls. It is called going short.

Long vs short

  • Buy (long): profit when price rises
  • Sell (short): profit when price falls
  • Stop loss: below for buys, above for sells

Buying is going long: you profit when price rises. Selling is going short: you profit when it falls.
