1. Futures is a contract that must be performed in the future, and the delivery time must be determined; Spot gold is traded 24 hours a day.

Second, domestic futures are regional markets; Gold is an international market.

Third, from the perspective of trading time, futures trading is 4 hours; Gold 24 hours

Fourth, market makers are different from exchanges: futures trading is generally concentrated in futures exchanges; There is no centralized matching transaction for spot gold.

5. Futures are formed by centralized bidding of all traders in the exchange; Spot gold price is the buying and selling price quoted by gold market makers.

6. Whether the trading object is a specific futures trading object is not specific, and any investor who makes a reverse trading order on the exchange may be his trading object; Spot gold is traded with a fixed gold market maker.

7. Futures contracts have an expiration date and cannot be held indefinitely; Gold can be held indefinitely. In the comparison of these two investment methods, spot gold investment still has advantages.

In this line of work, beginners must learn to analyze trends. This investment is nothing but buying and selling. People who know nothing have a 50% chance of getting it right. Investment is not gambling. If you are gambling, you will definitely lose money in the end, so investing is a long-term financial management process. What we can do is to increase the probability of doing right as much as possible and maximize profits. Then it involves an accurate judgment and grasp of the market.

There are many index fluctuations in the market. Many people ask me what index is the most useful. In fact, every index is useful, inventable, widely circulated and very classic. So the key is what index suits you. Let me talk about my personal habit of watching discs first (personal accuracy rate is 70%-75%, can you blame me if you don't believe me? Confrontation).

First of all, talk about the main map indicators. My personal habit is to look at the Bollinger Band, which has three lines, the upper rail, the lower rail and the middle rail. Through three lines, an upward channel, a downward channel and a volatile market are formed. Secondly, I am used to watching macd, and I judge the kinetic energy of ups and downs through the dead fork of macd and the heavy volume attached to axis 0. Then there are some shapes to help analyze, such as head and shoulder bottom, head and shoulder top, M shape, W shape and so on. In addition, I personally suggest not to look at too many indicators, there will be contradictions. Hand-only, I hope it will help you and be adopted. thank you
