Going long - means buying.
Going short - means selling (without even having demat account balance). This is, is also called (sometimes) "Short Selling".
Long liquidation means selling off the stocks and reduce the position size.
Short covering means buying back the already sold quantity (with a view to get the balance to zero from a negative).
Retail as well as Institutional Investors can do short selling in the regular BSE/NSE Cash Segment. However, retail investors should buy back the same day (so that the net deliverable quantity is zero by the end of the day). Institutional Investor on the other hand, can resort to stock borrowing & lending to honour the T+2 settlement cycle without squaring off their short positions the same day.
In the futures segment, there is no need to cover shorts the same day (for both retail as well as institutional categories).
Preferred wealth generation mechanism for retail investors is to go long on fundamentally good companies; stick on for considerable amount of time; and liquidate the long once the profit targets are met.
