Gold futures are futures, just as stock investment needs to open an account in a securities company, so gold futures trading also needs to open an account in a futures company.

First of all, gold futures trading adopts a long-short two-way trading mechanism.

Secondly, gold futures trading meets the national standard GB/T4 134-2003, and the gold content is not less than 99.95%. In 2008, the Shanghai Stock Exchange stipulated that gold futures should be per lot1000g.

Thirdly, unlike T+ 1 trading in stock investment, gold futures are T+0 trading, that is, they can be sold on the day of purchase. No investment or financial management is guaranteed. Like stocks, gold trading has risks. So it is very important to learn basic knowledge.

Advantages of gold futures:

1, two-way trading, you can buy up or down.

2, the implementation of the T+0 system, in the trading hours, you can buy and sell at any time.

3. You can buy and sell all gold with a small amount of money.

4, the price is open and fair, 24 hours in line with international standards, and it is not easy to be manipulated.

5. The market is centralized and fair. Under the open conditions, the futures trading prices of a region, a country and major financial and trade centers and regions in the world are basically the same.

6. Hedging, that is, buying and selling futures contracts with the same quantity and price to offset the losses caused by gold price fluctuations, is also called "hedging".
