Locked positions are widely used in the futures market because ordinary investors can short in both directions.

Specifically, for example, an investor bought five copper futures contracts, but after the contracts were bought, the copper price kept falling. At this time, the investor has lost a lot, but he still expects the market to turn around and hopes that the copper price will rise before selling. But he still had no confidence in the market, so he did the opposite, that is, shorting five copper contracts.

Then at this time, his position is basically locked. No matter how the market changes, he will not make a profit or lose money.

But in fact, this approach is not very desirable, and its role is only to make investors feel better. When the market comes out of its own big reversal, it is more appropriate to admit mistakes and leave. If you find a better time to enter the market again, then the operation will be more handy and flexible. Don't leave your position and wait there.

What does futures lock mean?

The lock order is the same number of hands in the original position. For example, if there are more than 5 lots in the account, then the lock order is the corresponding 5-lot empty order, so that the profit and loss of the account will not increase or decrease with the price fluctuation.

Lock warehouse is generally divided into two types: lock loss list and lock profit list.

Lock loss orders generally appear when there is no stop loss, the account losses are large, and it is unbearable to close the position. In order to prevent more losses or empty positions, then lock loss operation will be selected. For locked lists, unlocking is more difficult. You need to drop a list at the right place, and then the market will drop another list with the forecast, so as to unlock it successfully.

Strictly speaking, there is little difference between the profit list and the loss list. The only difference is that locking the profit sheet is operated when the account is profitable. The purpose of profit from lock orders is to open up the uncertain market through lock orders, so as to achieve long-term profit.

Because unlocking is a very complicated project, and investors are inexperienced and unsure of the market judgment, they will hesitate, and the work of unlocking will be delayed again and again, leading to a growing hunger for trading;

This transaction cost is not only an explicit cost, such as overnight interest and time cost, but also an invisible cost. For example, the continuous rise or fall of the market leads to the continuous expansion of the lock price, forming a lock between heaven and earth, making it more difficult to unlock and the lock time more distant.
