Futures margin calculation formula = futures price * trading unit * margin ratio
Take the gold futures in Shanghai as an example. At present, the main gold contract is au2206, the price is 387.68 yuan \g, the trading unit is 1kg\ lot, and the minimum trading margin ratio of the contract is 8%.
Calculate the margin of gold futures 1 lot =387.68* 1000*8%= about 3 1020 yuan/lot.
In other words, it takes at least 32,000 yuan to open 1 hand gold futures. In fact, the margin required for futures companies to add margin is generally more than 40 thousand yuan.
Therefore, if you choose a variety suitable for your own trading, you must control your position, stop loss and take profit, and resolutely implement it.
