Professional analysis of common nouns?
1. Open position: refers to the total number of contracts that have not been reversed by buyers and sellers. The size of the position reflects the size of the market transaction and the difference between the long and short sides in the current price. For example, if two people are counterparties, one person opens a position to buy 1 contract, and the other person opens a position to sell 1 contract, then the position is displayed as a 2-hand contract. ?
2. Inner disk and outer disk: equivalent to the inner disk and outer disk in stock software. For example, the person entrusted with the seller's transaction is classified as "outer disk" and the person entrusted with the buyer's transaction is classified as "inner disk". "Outer disk" and "inner disk" add up to volume. During the analysis, because the outer disk contains the seller's entrusted transaction, if the outer disk is large, it means that most of the selling price has been accepted, which means that the buying potential is strong; If the inner disk contains the buyer's transactions, if the inner disk is too large, it means that most of the buyers are willing to sell, which means that the seller has greater strength. If the inner disk and the outer disk are roughly similar, the buying and selling power is equal. ?
3. Total number of lots: refers to the total number of lots sold so far in this contract. In China, 1 hand is traded by both parties, so you can see that the mantissa is double digits. ?
4. Yesterday's settlement price: refers to yesterday's settlement price. Settlement price (different from yesterday's closing price) refers to the weighted average price of the transaction price in the last hour of a futures contract according to the volume. If the contract is a new listed contract, the calculation formula of the settlement price of the day is: contract settlement price = contract benchmark price+benchmark contract settlement price today-benchmark contract settlement price on the previous trading day. ?
5. Commission rate: refers to the index used to measure the relative strength of orders in a period of time, and its calculation formula is: Commission rate = [(number of commission buyers-number of commission sellers) ÷ (number of commission buyers+number of commission sellers) × 100%?
6. Position difference: referred to as position difference, it refers to the difference between the current position and the position corresponding to yesterday's closing price. If it is positive, add positions today; If it is negative, the position will be reduced. Position difference is the change of position. For example, the position of stock index futures contract in June 165438+ 10 is 60,000 lots, whereas it was 50,000 lots yesterday, so the position difference today is 1 10,000 lots. In addition: there are also changes in position differences in the transaction column. Here refers to the comparison between the position change caused by the current transaction order and the previous instant position, whether to increase or decrease the position. ?
7. Multi-single open position: the abbreviation of multi-single open position means that the position has increased, but the added value of the position is less than the current position, which belongs to active buying. For example, suppose four people are counterparties, in which A hangs out 1 sells to close the position, B hangs out 10 sells to open a position, and C sees that there is a 1 1 hand pending order at the selling position, that is, five hands are hung out to buy a position, and the disk display will be: multi-opening, spot transaction/kloc.
8. Open position: short position, indicating that the position has increased, but the added value of the position is less than the current position, which belongs to active selling; For example, selling and buying in the above example can be reversed. ?

10, double balance: refers to the transaction in which the opening amount is equal to zero, the closing amount is the current amount, the opening amount decreases, and the difference is equal to the current amount, indicating that both long and short positions have lightened their positions. ?
1 1, multi-exchange and empty exchange: short for multi-exchange and empty exchange. If in a certain transaction, the open position and open position are equal to half of the current trading volume, and the open position remains unchanged, it means that the bulls and bears have not changed, but only some positions have been transferred between them. Combining the state of internal and external markets, we define the transaction state as follows. ?
12, Multi-level and Empty-level: short positions for long positions and short positions. Long position closing refers to the reduction of positions, but the absolute value of position increase is less than the current quantity, which belongs to active selling; Short position means that the position is reduced, but the absolute value of the position increase is less than the current quantity, which belongs to active buying. For example, suppose three people are counterparties, in which A has five long positions, B has five short positions and C has no positions; If Party A wants to close some positions, it will sell 3 positions; Party C thinks that the market will fall and sells 2 positions; If Party B also wants to close the position, it will sell five positions at the current price (selling price), and the disk shows: empty (short), spot transaction 10, position difference -6. If it is a long position, it is to take B as the active position, and A can close the position.
