What does the position limit mean?
The position limit refers to the maximum number of positions that a member or customer can hold in a contract as stipulated by the exchange and calculated unilaterally. When the same customer opens positions in different members, the total position of a contract shall not exceed the position limit of the customer.

CICC's specific provisions on the position limit of stock index futures contracts for members and customers are as follows:

(1) Limit the absolute amount of unilateral positions of customers' contracts, with the position limit of 600.

(2) The trading members engaged in proprietary business shall implement absolute position limit for a certain contract, and the position limit for each customer number shall be 600;

(3) If the total unilateral position of a contract exceeds 654.38+ 10,000, the unilateral position of a clearing member shall not exceed 25% of the total unilateral position of the contract.

The positions held by members or customers who have obtained the hedging quota are not subject to the above restrictions. Members and customers whose positions reach or exceed the position limit shall not open positions in the same direction.

For the algorithm of opening positions, it is calculated in China. The increase in positions represents the inflow of funds into the futures market, and vice versa. The impact on the price should be analyzed together with the volume.
