1, 5-day 24-hour trading: gold spot trading is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, and can be traded. Compared with the popular T+D, futures, stocks and other transactions, it takes longer and is more convenient for traders to arrange flexibly.
2. Margin trading: Spot gold trading is based on the margin system, and the leverage is generally high. The leverage provided by many traders is 100: 1. It means that traders can use leverage to "amplify" funds for trading. Because of leverage, the requirements for the capital threshold of traders are relatively low.
For example, when the price of gold is $0/300 per ounce, under the leverage of 100: 1, trading 1 ounce of spot gold only needs about 10. Of course, margin leverage is a "double-edged sword", which can not only increase profit opportunities, but also amplify the risk of loss.
3. Two-way trading: Different from paper gold and physical transactions, one of the characteristics of spot gold trading is that traders have trading opportunities no matter whether the price of gold goes up or down.
4. Zero handling fee: There is generally no handling fee commission for spot gold trading, and traders profit from the bid-ask price difference.
Second, how to operate precious metals trading?
1, learn to judge points by analytical method.
The location of the transaction is very important. The risk of entering the market in the right position is less, and more profit space can be seized. If you enter the market at a point where the trend will reverse, there may be huge losses. How is this judged? This paper mainly analyzes the pressure and support of the high and low points in the early stage, and then judges according to the K-line characteristics of spot gold prices, MACD, moving average and other indicators.
2. Set a stop loss for the price limit platform.
After placing an order, investors should immediately set a stop loss. Some people think that their hand speed can keep up with the changes in the market, which is changing rapidly. If they can't watch the market all the time, the market will go against the trend and fail to stop the loss in time, which will cause huge losses. Set a stop loss in advance. If there is a market, the platform will automatically close the position for investors. Of course, in order to ensure that the stop loss must be executed, we must choose the price limit platform for trading. At present, only this platform promises that there will be no slippage, and no matter what happens, it will trade in strict accordance with the set price.
3. Reasonable control of trading positions
In heavy trading, the psychological pressure of investors will be very great. Once the trend is reversed, the loss will increase and the position will be out in a few minutes. If this happens, investors often can't carefully analyze the market trend, leading to operational errors. In addition, the operation of heavy positions means that investors have no extra funds to seize other profit opportunities and meet better market conditions. Because of the lack of funds, we will miss the great market in front of us.
