U.S. stock contracts are derivatives based on U.S. stock prices, allowing participation in stock price movements without owning the actual stocks. Compared to traditional stock trading, U.S. stock contracts support two-way trading, enabling both going long and going short. They also offer leverage, allowing a smaller amount of capital to gain greater market exposure, but both returns and risks are amplified accordingly. Additionally, U.S. stock contracts typically have more flexible trading mechanisms.

Bidirectional + leverage is indeed attractive, but you must also clearly calculate the liquidation risk — don't just focus on the gains.

Traditional stocks can only wait helplessly for price increases, while contracts are much more flexible, but you need to weigh how much leverage to use.

US stock contracts let you go long or short—so they’re suitable for someone like me who’s bearish.
