However, some people prefer stocks in the trading process, because stocks themselves have no leverage, the risk is lower than futures, and there is no short position. Even if the stock falls, after a short-term loss, if the market is good in the later period, it can still make money, and once the futures are short, the money will be gone.
Therefore, when comparing futures and stocks, it still depends on individuals. Look at his investment habits, professional knowledge, etc. You can also choose your favorite one to invest through the difference between stocks and futures.
What's the difference between stocks and futures?
Futures and stocks have many different characteristics, such as inconsistent positioning of the subject matter of the transaction, great differences in investors' trading styles, and great differences under trading risks. Let's discuss it in detail:
First, the target of the transaction, the target of stock trading is equivalent to buying a company's stock. The loss or profit of investors mainly depends on the fluctuation of the company's stock price, which has many influences, such as the short-term inflow and outflow of funds, the change of the company's fundamental performance, and the company's plate theme. The price fluctuation of futures mainly depends on the transaction object, such as rebar. Market expectation target future spot market price. In addition to the futures of financial products, commodity futures have their corresponding commodities in the market. The price fluctuation of commodities is mainly affected by the supply relationship in the spot market, and the short-term fluctuation is mainly affected by the game of long and short funds.
Therefore, through the analysis of the transaction target, we will find that there are many factors that affect the stock, especially many stocks are still controlled by the bookmaker to affect the operation of the stock price. There are many factors that need to be considered in the analysis process, while futures price fluctuation is less affected by factors, so there are fewer factors that need to be considered in the analysis process. Therefore, futures are much simpler than stocks in the analysis process, especially the success rate of short-term fluctuation technical analysis of futures is much higher than stocks.
The second is the scope of the target. At present, there are more than 3,000 A-share stocks, and there are many choices on the target, and the situation of each stock is inconsistent. In particular, many investors like to choose theme stocks. As soon as the policy news comes out, there are too many choices, and the trend of many stocks is difficult to be stimulated by the news and there are obvious fluctuations. However, there are only a few varieties that fluctuate greatly, such as rebar, coke and copper. After the introduction of the policy, there will be obvious fluctuations in related varieties. There are fewer trading targets and fewer varieties with large fluctuations. It is far less difficult to choose varieties than stocks, so this is why many investors like futures.
Third, risk, because most investors buy stocks with their own funds, investors who open margin trading can choose to buy by financing, but the leverage ratio is relatively small, but any futures products are leveraged first and then bought. At present, the average leverage of the futures market is about 10 times. According to the inconsistency of product leverage ratio, the small leverage ratio is about 6 times and the large leverage ratio is about 12 times. Compared with the stock market, the risk of this leverage ratio is greater than that of the stock market. The concept of average leverage 10 times is that when the price of a futures product fluctuates 1%, its volatility is equivalent to 10%. For example, we have 10000 funds to operate in the futures market. After buying the target, we change the product itself into leverage, which is equivalent to buying 65438. When the commodity price fluctuates after 1%, the profit and loss is 1 1,000 yuan; If the price fluctuates after 10%, the profit and loss is 1 0,000 yuan. Once the strategy direction is opposite to the actual fluctuation direction, the probability of 1 0,000 yuan is 1 10,000 yuan. However, at present, futures products have the rule of automatic liquidation, and the loss will actually be several thousand yuan. If the margin is not increased,
Under the operation of the stock target, the fluctuation of 10% will basically have no impact on your own account. If the market is good in the later period, there will be cases of returning to the capital or even making money. Therefore, through the above analysis, the risk of futures is far greater than our stock market. However, the greater the risk, the higher the short-term rate of return. So, if you don't have any experience in investment analysis, I suggest starting with the stock market. After the investment ability is greatly improved in the later period, you can consider investing in the futures market. Because of inconsistent investment preferences, investors who like high risks and high returns can consider investing in the futures market.
