Futures main contracts refer to those contracts with concentrated positions and good liquidity, which is a conventional term, not an official definition. The futures main contract has two meanings: the first layer refers to the contract in which the main force participates; The second layer means that retail investors participate in more contracts.

Comparing the trading volume of all futures contracts of a certain variety, the biggest one is the main contract. The so-called futures main contract refers to the futures contract with the largest turnover, because it is the most active contract in the market and the easiest contract to clinch, and basically all speculators are participating in this contract. (The activity of monthly contracts other than the main contracts is relatively poor, and it is relatively difficult to open and close positions).

The method of judging the current futures main contract;

1, depending on the time of listing and delivery.

Contracts that have been listed for more than 65,438+0 months and are more than 65,438+0 months away from the contract delivery time can be operated. In other words, don't operate a new contract, and don't operate a contract that is close to delivery, even if it is best to light the warehouse and then light the warehouse.

2. Check the contract location.

Every contract will have a relatively constant position when it runs to the mature stage. Comparing the trading volume of all futures contracts of a certain variety, the biggest one is the main contract.
