How does a short-selling transaction work and what are its risks?

Short selling is the transaction of selling capital-market instruments that are not owned and fulfilling the settlement obligation related to the sale with borrowed capital-market instruments. Investors can borrow a share whose price they expect to fall, sell it at a high price and buy it back at a lower price to return it. The difference between the sale plus lending cost and the purchase cost constitutes the profit or loss.

What are futures market transactions (VIOP) and how are they executed?
