Many people trade contracts randomly! One moment they go long, the next moment they go short. Contracts are just predictions of future price movements; if you predict correctly, you profit, and if you predict incorrectly, you lose. Position management must be controlled well, but the current trend is likely to be opposite to your view. This is the principle of prices rising when you short and falling when you go long; you can never short at the highest point or go long at the lowest point! There is no highest or lowest! There is only higher or lower!
