The difference between short and long

Assuming a currency is priced at 1$ and its price rises to $10

If you entered a short position at 20$ with 50x leverage from the highest price, you would make a profit of $900

And if you entered a long position at 20$ with 50x leverage from the lowest price

You would make a profit of $10,000

Shorting is used to enhance profits, not to create profits

Long is always the basis of profit
