Futures are very profitable, only that the trading mechanism is reasonable. While making money, we should also consider the problem of loss. The futures market is a matchmaking transaction, that is, buyers and sellers reach a transaction through an exchange. That is to say, if you make money, then someone must be losing money. The reason why futures want to make money is actually its flexibility. Two-way trading and T+0 trading will largely avoid risks, but futures are margin trading. Margin is the principle of leverage, which reduces the transaction cost, but the gains and losses are not reduced. There are certain risks at will. Heavy trading, no stop loss, anti-order, etc. It will cause substantial losses to your account. Then let's explain in detail how to play futures to make money. 1. Variety selection: Variety selection in the futures market is very important. When we came to the market, we didn't just choose a variety, but chose a variety according to our own conditions. For example, if we only have 50,000 yuan to trade live pigs, it is not appropriate. The cost of live pigs is about 50,000 yuan. If we buy it, there may be no liquidity in the account. The other is whether you can accept the fluctuation frequency. 2. Small position trading: The smaller the position, the smaller the risk. If there is a loss, our backhand jiacang may make up for our loss, that is, the remaining positions can help us meet the risk. According to the data, the probability of loss in investment accounts with small positions is 20%, which can be said to be particularly difficult to cause large losses. Because of the loss of small positions, you can basically earn it back by simply covering the position. 3. Set a stop loss: Many people ask how to set a stop loss. Stop loss is our psychological defense. If the loss may affect your trading mentality to some extent, then that position can be set as a stop loss. Generally speaking, it is probably below 5-9 points. Because of the difference, large funds can set up 20 points. As for futures trading, it is easier said than done. The question is what kind of mentality you use to trade. Any variety can make money, and people will trade at any time. Winning or losing the exam is not just luck. The big investors in the market didn't have a high winning rate at first, but many years of professional technology have made it today. So if you want to do a good job in futures, you must learn trading methods and improve your financial management experience.
