Q: "Little brother, I just joined the work. There is not much deposit. Prepare to take out 3000 speculative futures. . If it's okay. . . . . . . The problem is. . . Can it really be fried? . On the Internet, you said it was best to start at 1 10,000 or 20,000. . "
A: According to the settlement price of all commodities in the futures market on February 5, 2009, the cheapest one is corn 158 1 yuan/ton (the main contract), so 3,000 yuan can barely play with one hand of corn (1 hand = 10/ton). The best thing to say online is 1 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, which is for the sake of position control, so as not to accidentally explode the position.
Q: "Didn't you say that the deposit is only 10%? Then I can use 3000 yuan as 30 thousand yuan, can't I? For example, a commodity is 20,000 yuan a ton, can I buy it? "
A: As long as the deposit is 65,438+00%, that's just the general situation. Under extreme market conditions, the exchange will increase the margin ratio, and the futures delivery month near February will also increase the margin ratio.
3000 yuan can be used as a 30000 yuan sales contract when the margin ratio is 10%.
The trading unit of futures contract is hand, in which metal is generally 5 tons/hand and agricultural products are 10 tons/hand. Each transaction is at least 1 lot, so a ton of goods with 20,000 yuan is worth 100000 yuan in one hand. If the margin ratio is 10%, you need 10000 yuan to participate, and 3000 yuan is far from enough.
I hope my answer can solve this little brother's problem, thank you! :)
