Which is more risky, futures or stocks?
Futures are more risky than stock speculation. Because futures are margin trading, with leverage function of 10 times, the risk is higher than that of stocks, and because there is no limit on the fluctuation of futures, the expected rate of return is enlarged at the same time, while the trading scope of stocks is wider, the trading service platform is more perfect and the risk is less.
But the stock market is also uncertain, and there may be great losses in the process. If investors want to improve the success rate of investing in the stock market, they also need high professional investment ability.
What's the difference between futures and stocks?
1. Trading funds: stocks are fully traded, while futures are a margin system. You only need to pay 5%~ 10% of the turnover to trade.
2. Trading direction: the stock is a one-way transaction, and you can only buy more, not short; Futures can be bought and sold, that is, two-way trading.
3. Time limit for holding positions: there is no time limit for stock trading, and you can hold positions for a long time; Futures must be delivered at maturity, otherwise the exchange will implement forced liquidation or physical delivery.
4. Profit mode: the return on stock investment has two parts, one is the market price difference, and the other is the dividend; The profit and loss of futures investment lies in the difference between buying and selling.
5. Trading time: The stock is subject to the T+ 1 system, and investors can only sell and close their positions until the next day; Futures is a T+0 transaction, which can be bought the same day and sold the next day.
6. Settlement method: the income funds can only be obtained after the stock is closed, and the futures are settled daily without debt. Even if the investor does not close the position, the profit will be transferred to the investor's account according to the settlement price of the day.
