There are many people who participate in futures trading, and they all trade at the price they think is the most suitable. Therefore, futures prices can comprehensively reflect the expectations of both supply and demand for the relationship between supply and demand and price trends in a certain period of time in the future. This kind of price information increases the transparency of the market and helps to improve the efficiency of resource allocation. The domestic prices of copper in Shanghai Futures Exchange and soybeans in Dalian Futures Exchange are the industry guidance prices at home and abroad.

2. Avoid risks

In the actual production and operation process, in order to avoid rising costs or falling profits caused by changing commodity prices, futures trading can be used for hedging, that is, buying or selling futures contracts with the same quantity but opposite trading directions in the futures market, so that the gains and losses of futures market trading can offset each other. Lock in the production cost or commodity sales price of the enterprise, maintain the established profit and avoid the price risk.

Function:

Futures is also an investment tool. Because the futures contract price fluctuates, traders can use the price difference to earn risk profits.

I don't know anything about international futures. ,,,, Look it up yourself

Spot gold: contract spot gold trading based on leverage principle.

Simply put, it is margin trading, that is, the current international gold price is 660 US dollars/ounce, but investors only need to pay 2% margin to reach a peace agreement. After the investor makes a profit, he will exchange 2% margin plus the investor's profit for the investor.

Advantage 1: Leverage principle, low input and high return.

For example, at present, the gold price is 660 USD/oz, and investor A buys primary gold (primary gold = 100 oz, 1 oz = 31.1035g), and he needs to pay a deposit of 10000 RMB.

Advantage 2: Two-way transaction and flexible investment.

Two-way trading means that investors can buy gold to go up or down, so that no matter how the price of gold changes, investors always have a chance to make a profit.

Advantage 3: the online trading platform is convenient, fast and accurate!

Disadvantages: the risk is greater than the stock.

Gold futures: small and wide

The gold futures market adopts the margin system, and the margin is generally 5%- 15% of the contract value. Compared with spot trading and stock investment, investors' investment in the futures market is much smaller than other investments, commonly known as "small and wide". The purpose of futures trading is not to obtain physical objects, but to avoid price risks or arbitrage, and generally does not realize the transfer of commodity ownership. The basic function of the futures market is to provide hedging for producers and operators, avoid price risks and form a fair price through fair and open competition.

There are two main types of people who are suitable to participate in gold futures trading: one is risk aversion, including legal entities such as gold production enterprises, gold-using enterprises, financial institutions and investment institutions.

The other type is ordinary investors: those who have idle funds or special funds and want to engage in investment and financial management can make use of the volatility and flexibility of the gold futures market to earn the difference profit.

Operating instructions: 1. Stop loss in time.

2. Properly control positions

Wait for a call back

4. Avoid day trading.

Comparison between futures and stocks

As two capital markets, stocks and futures have their similarities, mainly in:

1, all belong to venture capital.

2. The buying and selling methods and business processes are the same.

The composition and operation of the exchange are the same.

The difference between the two:

1, futures have a margin system, stocks are bought and sold in full, and futures trading margin is 5%-8%.

2. The purpose of the transaction is different. The purpose of stock trading is not only to earn the difference, but more importantly, to gain the controlling stake. Futures trading is to earn the difference and avoid risks.

3. The same investment risks are different. After the bankruptcy of listed companies, they are worthless, and the plunge occurs at any time, and the suspension is large. Futures have a suspension system and a physical delivery system.

4. The transfer of property rights is different. The stock is transferred with the transaction and not transferred until the futures are delivered.

5, two-way trading, the stock market can not be short, futures can be short.

6, timeliness is different, as long as the stock is not delisted, there is no limit, and futures have delivery time limit.

Let's take buying a stock as an example. If you buy 10 yuan's shares at100000 yuan and sell them in 20 yuan, you can get a profit of100000 yuan; Then do the same money in the futures market. If there is a similar market, the profit can be 10 times more than the stock market. In addition, in a bear market, investors can only watch stocks fall, but they can short in the futures market and earn market profits that you can only watch.
