The so-called stock index futures is a standardized futures contract with a certain stock index as the underlying asset. The price quoted by buyers and sellers is the stock index price level after a certain period of time. After the contract expires, the stock index futures will be delivered in the form of cash settlement.

Preparation for stock index futures investment and trading;

The first step: understand what is the spread of stock index trading terms? What do you mean by stop loss and take profit? What are the types of trading prices, leverage ratio and other related basic terms, and understand the principle of futures margin trading.

Part II: Familiar with technical indicators After understanding the terminology, the next step is to understand futures technical indicators. For example, commonly used technical indicators: random indicators, long and short indicators, bollinger Band indicators MA and so on. When learning these technical indicators, we need to understand the composition principle of technical indicators and master the application methods of indicators, but we need to use them flexibly, because technical indicators are lagging indicators, provided that history will repeat itself. And technical indicators sometimes deviate from the real market.

Part III: Fundamental Analysis Many traders ignore fundamental analysis and pay more attention to technical data analysis. The futures market is a global market with huge data and technical terms, and ordinary investors simply don't have time to take care of all the information.

The other is to judge according to the actual situation:

1, look at the short line

Look at the 15 minute chart, which is suitable for short-term trading. Generally speaking, it is more suitable for beginners to practice and practical. Look at the trend of 15 minutes to place an order, and it is no problem to make a profit of 2 points at a time.

Step 2 judge the trend

Before trading, you can look at the 4-hour chart to determine the trend and direction, and then look at the 1 hour chart to pay attention to the trend of the transition period and judge the trend of the next period. The transition period is more important, connecting the preceding with the following.

Step 3 play it by ear

The shorter the event period, the faster the response and the higher the sensitivity; 5 minutes is suitable for ultra-short-term, flexible and unstable, but it can predict the trend and trend of the market outlook. You can choose a good position to enter and close the warehouse. Especially when the price runs near the support or resistance, we can judge the market outlook. Of course, 5 minutes of knowledge is suitable for ultra-short-term operation, and there is no trend. Therefore, novice operation is not recommended.
