1. Stocks are shares of listed companies, and futures are physical transactions, such as stock index futures, gold, copper, aluminum, zinc, rubber, plastics, soybeans and so on.

2. Stock trading is a T+ 1 system. Buying on the same day can only close the position every other day, and only buy up, 100% margin trading; Futures is a T+0 system. If you buy on the same day, you can close your position immediately. There is no limit, you can buy and sell in both directions. More than 10% of margin trading is small and wide.

3. Both of them have policy and macro-economic risk factors, but they can't buy stocks well, either losing money or locking up until the stocks rise. But as long as the funds are well managed and not blindly traded, these risks are controllable.

4. If you want to trade stocks, you will have more opportunities when the market environment is good, otherwise you will be easily trapped; Because futures is a two-way transaction, there are many opportunities, but because it is a margin transaction, the risk is greater than that of stocks. This quality needs to be done by yourself.
