First of all, we must understand the concept of leveraged trading. The so-called leveraged trading, as its name implies, is to invest several times the original amount with a small amount of money in order to obtain a return or loss that is several times the fluctuation of the investment target. That is, in the traditional sense, "fight big with small."

So how to calculate the profit and loss of margin trading? For example, the leverage of gold futures is 10 times, which is 10% margin. If you want to buy 1 lot (1 lot = 1 1,000g) of gold futures at the position of gold 300 yuan/gram, the margin used is: 1 lot×11,000g× 300 yuan/gram×/kloc-. Your profit is: profit = 1× 1 0,000 g× (400 yuan /g -300 yuan /g)= 1 0,000,000 yuan. In terms of profit ratio, if a trader buys 1 hand gold in 300 yuan at a price of 300,000 yuan/gram, he can make a profit when it rises to 400 yuan/gram, that is, (65438+ million ÷ 300,000 * 100%)=33.3%, and the profit of margin trading is (65438+ million.

It can be seen that when you trade futures, remember not to Man Cang. There is nothing wrong with the landlord's calculation, but when calculating the profit and loss of futures, the current price of buying futures should be taken as the standard instead of the margin. In the above example, you bought 1 hand gold futures with 50,000 yuan, and the margin occupied was 30,000 yuan, and the remaining 20,000 yuan was used as risk reserve. That is to say, when gold falls from 300 yuan/gram to 280 yuan/gram, your loss is (300-280)* 1, 000 yuan/gram = 20,000 yuan. In other words, when the loss of 20,000 yuan is over, your margin will start to report to the police, and you need to add the margin in time, otherwise you will be forced to close your position.
