Example of gold futures trading calculation:
Example 1: short selling
Short 8 lots at the price of 230 yuan/gram, and then buy and close positions at the price of 2 15 yuan/gram. The result of this transaction is:
(selling price-buying price) × contract unit × number of trading hands
(230-215) ×1000g/hand× 8 hands = 120000 (yuan)
(
note:
The above calculation does not calculate transaction costs such as handling fees. )
Example 2: Purchase
Buy 2 lots at the price of 227 yuan/gram, and the price drops to 220 yuan/hour to close the position. The result of this transaction is:
(selling price-buying price) × contract unit × number of trading hands
(220-227) ×1000g/hand× 2 hands =- 14000 (yuan)
