One-way trading in the stock market means that ordinary retail investors can only buy stocks first and then sell them for profit. In the futures market, if you are bearish on the future commodity price, you can sell the futures contract first, and then close the position to make a profit when the futures contract price falls on the same day or in the future. Relatively speaking, the futures market is more flexible, and the trading system of T+0 can also avoid the situation that investors can only be passively beaten after buying on the day of the stock market to a certain extent.
But because of this, the futures market is more speculative, and with the leverage effect, the risk coefficient is much higher than that of the stock market. Especially for investors who only do ultra-short-term intraday trading, it is difficult to make a profit in the futures market unless they have superb trading skills, a sense of disk and a firm attitude.
Statistics show that the survival rate of investors in the ultra-short-term futures market is far less than that of investors in the long-term futures market.
The most important test of investment in futures market is investment strategy, mentality and execution. Of course, it is not impossible to do intraday trading, and the market is allowed, but to do a good job of self-evaluation, the technical ability and mentality should meet the requirements of an ultra-short-term trader, and whether the profit can completely cover the transaction cost. For ultra-short-term investors in the futures market, strategies and plans are difficult to work, because the cycle is too short, mainly relying on the sense of disk and trading skills, judging the ultra-short-term trend in the time-sharing cycle structure according to the relationship between volume and price and the real-time data of positions, and the firm implementation without greed can quickly take profits and stop losses without resisting orders after losses.
However, day trading is not advocated by individuals. In addition to the high handling fee, the more transactions, the more failures, which will affect the investment mentality of the whole person in the long run. To invest in futures, we should choose appropriate strategies, including how to hedge risks and how to improve the probability of success. , fully study the fundamental data, at the same time, formulate a perfect plan and strictly implement it, and invest in the medium and long term to maximize the probability of winning certain benefits.
Futures investment must not follow suit. If the price is high, it will be short, and if the price is low, it will be long. Doing what you want is often the beginning of a loss, remember.
