The calculation formula of one point of futures fluctuation = trading unit * minimum change price; According to the regulations of Zhengshang Institute, the trading unit of methanol futures is 10 ton per lot, and the minimum fluctuation price is 1 yuan per ton. Then we can get the data by substituting it into the formula: the fluctuation point of methanol futures is 10 yuan.
What should I pay attention to when buying futures?
First, formulate a reasonable trading strategy.
Many new investors think that only professional institutions and large investors need trading strategies, but they are not. Trading strategy is not only an analysis report, but also the standard of investors' trading behavior. Cultivating the buying and selling habits of making reasonable buying and selling strategies can form a mindset, which will greatly improve investors' analysis and decision-making plans for shopping malls. Investors, especially novices, must not just act on the so-called "intuition". Investment without a complete trading strategy is almost gambling.
Second: understand the futures market.
Futures contracts can be divided into product futures and financial futures according to the characteristics of the subject matter. Product futures are divided into industrial products (which can be subdivided into metal products and power products), agricultural products and other products. Financial futures are mainly traditional financial products (tools) such as stock index, interest rate and exchange rate. All kinds of futures trading include options trading. Although investors can enrich their portfolios by crossing shopping malls and categories, they still need to analyze the current situation and prospects of the target shopping malls. A full understanding of the target shopping mall can provide a basis for the formulation and adjustment of investors' trading strategies. In the current volatile investment environment, investors don't know their own investment mall, which not only simply loses profit opportunities, but also greatly increases the risk of losses.
