I'd like to confirm how it would work if I was trading a futures contract like CL, and wanted to trade in both directions. For example, if I open a short, anticipating that oil will go down in the longer timeframe, but in the meanwhile wanted to open a long to do a trade for a shorter timeframe.
If say I had the one short open, and I wanted to open a long rather than covering that short, is that possible and how would I do that? If so, and I did that, say I wanted to sell the long and not open another short, I mean how does NT know what my intentions are?
Thanks!
