I believe everyone is interested in the most typical crude oil futures trading. Let's take the most typical commodity crude oil futures in the futures market as an example. Many countries in the world produce oil. What about the Middle East? Russia? America? Africa? Everyone has production, but consumers can't run around the world, and prices are not uniform in every place. Therefore, in order to facilitate management, these countries set up an organization called the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. They agreed to trade all the crude oil on the earth in a limited number of places (exchanges). The relatively large exchanges are in the United States and Britain, so that everyone only needs to concentrate on buying and selling crude oil on the exchanges, so that they don't have to travel around the world, which is convenient for consumers to buy crude oil and is convenient for unified pricing and management.
This transaction is also very simple, the merchant quotes? For example, if you buy a barrel of crude oil for 50 dollars, you can buy a barrel of crude oil for 50 dollars. This is a spot transaction. In fact, spot trading is no different from buying and selling things in our lives. Of course, if you buy a barrel of oil, you may not be able to move it back that day. You can discuss with the merchant whether I can store it in your warehouse first and I will drive back tomorrow. The merchant said? Yes, but I can't keep it for free. You have to pay me a storage fee. You have to give me 1 USD for a barrel of oil a night. This is the overnight fee mentioned in the spot transaction. Then the next day you went to the market to take your oil away, but you found that today's oil price rose to 60 dollars a barrel, so you sold your oil for 60 dollars in the market, like this? Except for the overnight fee you paid? You made 9 dollars in this spot transaction.
But sometimes people who buy more oil sell less oil, and may not have enough oil in stock, so many people make a trip for nothing. Later, the businessman thought of a way? Say? You sign a contract with me first. Today's price is 50 dollars a barrel. When our crude oil arrives next month, whatever the price, you bring the contract and I'll give you a barrel of oil. Some people think oil is so scarce? I was afraid of the price increase next month, so I signed a contract with the merchant. When the oil comes next month, no matter what the oil price is, you will get a barrel of oil for 50 dollars. If the market price next month is 60 dollars, then you sell it? I earned $ 10. If a lot of crude oil comes next month and the price drops to 40 dollars, then you will lose 10 dollars, which is futures trading. However, whether you lose money or make money, you don't need to pay the overnight fee for futures, because you only have a paper contract in your hand, which saves a lot of costs invisibly, which is one of the reasons why people prefer to speculate in futures.
Let's talk about what is long and what is short. We take futures crude oil as an example. Because the price of crude oil fluctuates with the market, some people doubt whether it is possible to make a difference. When the market is good, of course, you can stock up the goods normally and then sell them for profit in the appreciation transaction. This is what we call doing more. How can we make a profit when the market is getting worse and the oil price is getting cheaper? Later, someone developed a method. He first borrowed a barrel of oil from an oil seller, then immediately went to the market and sold it at the current trading price, and got 50 dollars. Then, when the oil price dropped to 40 dollars next month, he bought another barrel of oil from the market and returned it to his boss. Like this? He made money this time in the process of falling oil prices, which is what we said? Made an empty order.
So what is leverage? Zhang San is a poor man, but he is familiar with the boss who sells oil. He only has $50, but he thinks the price of crude oil will go up soon, so he consults with his boss. I'll pay you a deposit for a barrel of oil first. You sell me 100 barrel of oil first, and I'll give you the rest when you sell oil next month. The boss promised him to sell oil. Next month, Zhang San sold 100 barrels of oil at a price of $60 per barrel and earned $6,000. In this transaction, Zhang San made a net profit of $65,438+0,000 with the principal of $50 in addition to paying the unpaid payment to the boss. This is what we call leveraged trading. The leverage of this transaction is 1 0,000 times.
So you see, futures are not as mysterious as you think. Now, do you have a general understanding of the rules and profit methods of futures spot trading? In fact, futures trading is not difficult to understand, but it is difficult to accurately predict the future trend and situation of the market. If you are bearish, you will make a profit by buying short orders; If you are bullish, you can buy more than one order to make a profit. For those of us who don't have much money, futures is the project with the least investment and the greatest benefit. With 6,543.8+0,000 yuan, you can get 6,543.8+0,000 yuan. Of course, huge profits are accompanied by a lot of risks. In this ever-changing trading place, some people lose everything, and some people turn themselves into a phoenix. Some friends around me spend tens of thousands of dollars a year to earn millions, and some take futures as gambling and borrow usury to play until the final separation. Some people say that futures are a harmful thing, but they don't think so. Hurt them? It is a greedy heart that never knows how to satisfy. Earned 65438+100000, 200000, earned 200065438+100000. It is not experts who can buy, but experts who can sell. I don't know how to make a profit in the process of rising, but I always want to make more. I don't know the stop loss on the way down, but I always want to rebound just in case. In the end, I only ended up with chicken feathers.
Of course, even if you know everything about futures, choosing a platform is one of the most important things. Because the domestic futures market is not standardized, there are many small platforms and black platforms, and finally even the principal can't be recovered. When we choose a platform, we must choose a formal big platform. If I am a novice, I recommend an IC based on MT4 platform that I am also using. Markets is one of the mainstream platforms at present, with low fees and low threshold. The minimum price is $200, and novices can practice their hands with a simulation disk. I believe they can understand the trading rules and methods of making money in futures in a day or two.
