What is the principle of futures trading?
The principle is as follows:

1, securities trading.

Margin trading, also known as leveraged trading. Don't change color when you hear the bar. In fact, leverage is not that terrible. Proper use of leverage can also improve the utilization rate of funds, that is to say, borrowing other people's money to do your own thing. The same principle applies to margin trading.

There was no responsibility system that day.

Anyone who has done stock trading knows that as long as I don't cut the meat, I won't lose money and the money won't be drawn away in real time. As long as the company is still there, you can keep it.

3.T+0 trading

Unlike stocks, futures are T+0 transactions. Open positions on the same day and close positions on the same day, which can be operated countless times a day. This is not the same as stocks. After all, the domestic stock is now T+ 1, and it must be bought on the second trading day to close the position.

4. Buy low and sell high

Any investment is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference. Only when you can earn the difference can you make a profit. This is true of any industry and any enterprise.

5. Futures contracts are time-limited.

Many people are puzzled when they open dishes at first, because a variety will be followed by a number.

Futures, whose English name is futures, is completely different from spot. Spot is actually a tradable commodity. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments.

The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.

A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
