Futures trading is a bit poor. Remember to calculate the spread when setting the stop loss. If the default stop loss of multiple orders entered at 100 is 65, then the stop loss will not stop until the market reaches the point with a difference of 65 points. If an empty order is entered at 100, the default stop loss is 135, and the market position reaches 135. The take profit point is the same.

Futures and spot are completely different. Spot is actually a tradable commodity. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds.

The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.

Extended data:

First, the main characteristics of futures contracts

1. The terms and conditions of a futures contract, such as commodity variety, trading unit, contract month, margin, quantity, quality, grade, delivery time and delivery place, are established and standardized, and the only variable is price. The standards of futures contracts are usually designed by futures exchanges and listed by national regulatory agencies.

2. The futures contract is concluded under the organization of the futures exchange and has legal effect, and the price is generated by public bidding in the trading hall of the exchange; Most foreign countries adopt public bidding, while our country adopts computer trading.

3. The performance of futures contracts is guaranteed by the exchange, and private transactions are not allowed.

4. Futures contracts can fulfill or terminate their contractual obligations through the settlement of spot or hedging transactions.

Second, the characteristics of futures trading

1, bidirectional

One of the biggest differences between futures trading and stock market is that futures can be traded in both directions, and futures can be long or short. When the price rises, you can buy low and sell high, and when the price falls, you can sell high and buy low. Going long can make money, and shorting can also make money, so there is no bear market in futures. In a bear market, the stock market will be suppressed, while the futures market will remain unchanged and opportunities will still exist. )

2 Low cost

Futures trading countries do not levy stamp duty and other taxes, and the only cost is the transaction fee. The procedures of the three domestic exchanges are about two ten thousandths or three ten thousandths, plus the additional fees of brokers, and the unilateral handling fee is less than one thousandth of the transaction amount. Low cost is the guarantee of success.

3. Leverage

Leverage principle is the charm of futures investment. Futures market transactions do not need to pay all the funds, and domestic futures transactions only need to pay 5% margin to obtain future trading rights. Due to the use of margin, the original market has been enlarged ten times. Assuming that the daily limit of copper price closes on a certain day (the daily limit in futures is only 3% of the settlement price of the previous trading day), the operation is correct. The return on capital is as high as 60%(3%÷5%), which is six times the daily limit of the stock market.
