Things to note in futures trading:

Fully understand the trading system of trading products, the margin system and handling fee system of the futures market, product price trends, daily debt-free settlement system, etc. They are all different from the securities market. Fully understanding the trading system of the futures market is very helpful in understanding the sources of risks in the futures market and how to control them.

Strictly manage funds. Generally speaking, unprofitable overnight positions should be controlled below 30% of funds. For investors who are new to the futures market, judging the rise and fall of the market should be placed second, and fund management is the first. It tests investors' rigorous thinking and operations. Random operation and small or large single quantities are an important reason for the failure of futures. In reality, it is not that futures experts make more accurate judgments than novices, they just have more experience than novices in fund management and operating skills. Some investors even use the method of stock operation to make futures and trade with a full position. The result of such operation in the futures market is that just one mistake may result in losing all their money. Therefore, when investing in the futures market, you should still adhere to the principles of fund management and never invest blindly.

It is necessary to stop losses in time when the direction is wrong. It is common for investors to become shareholders by speculating in stocks. The main reason is that the risk of the stock market is small and they will not lose all their money no matter how low it falls. This does not exist in the futures market. This is a fluke, but some investors feel that their positions are light, or they have made some profits, so they cannot strictly follow their instructions or simply do not think about stopping losses. This is a taboo in futures. If you are not afraid of mistakes, you are afraid of delay. Some investors are always afraid that the highest point or the lowest point will be reached once they stop the loss, and they hold on to the idea of ??holding on for a while. However, the changes in the futures market may change rapidly. If it is an extreme market, if they do not stop the loss, they may be wiped out. However, stop loss can at least give you the opportunity to continue trading. In short, when trading futures, you must make a break. This is also the key point in the concept of stop loss.

Seize the opportunity to sell short and trade in futures. It can be long or short. Generally, traders are limited by the traditional thinking of stock and real estate investment. When they first come into contact with futures trading, they are often easy to accept buying first and then selling, but it is difficult to understand selling first and then buying. Therefore, they are not familiar with futures trading. There are many people who are interested in short selling, but they always feel a little unsure about short selling, thus missing many opportunities to make money.

Beware of being afraid of winning money and being too bold to lose money. This is the most common mistake made by new entrants to the market. When people make money, they are often afraid of losing it again, so they rush to make profit and leave the market. As a result, they always have illusions when they lose money, and they always think that they can survive the first few days. You have come back every time, but if you don't come back once, you have to leave the futures market.

Don't become a gambler and invest in the futures market with the mentality of betting on big or small. It is easy to fall into blindness and ignore it. Basic factors such as capital supply and demand, market psychology, macro changes, chart signals, and the tactics of large investors govern the rise and fall of the market. Market analysis relies on random guessing, and investment direction relies on inspiration. It is the so-called blind man riding a blind horse, and he will suffer heavy losses in the end. < /p>

Combining investment strategy and investment tactics. Since investment strategy has an overall, long-term and fundamental nature, it determines that it is a kind of strategy that is superior to all trading tactics and is in a dominant position. A programmatic tool. The main contents of investment strategy management include analysis and forecasting of medium- and long-term trends, assessment of market competition structure of investment products, market risk tracking analysis (especially policy risk), risk control and risk hedging, transaction capital management, and investment strategies. And the adjustment of methods, etc. What needs to be emphasized here is that investment strategy management is a dynamic process, and the adjustment of strategy is closely related to the market trend of the product and its risk evolution. Trading tactics are also closely related to the investment strategy. Specifically, it is more closely related to technical analysis and is a personalized trading strategy chosen by traders during the "random evolution" of market conditions.

Contracts must change months in a timely manner. Traditionally, futures traders choose the month with the most active trading. As time goes by, the forward month will become the near-term month until the delivery month. Therefore, in the delivery month, because there is not much time, the space for activities is reduced, and the margin is doubled or even delivered in full, so ordinary traders will not Drag the contract to the delivery month. There are no recognized contracts, and some futures contracts for a commodity are more actively traded. The so-called active means that there are more buyers and sellers and the trading volume is large. It is easy to have counterparties at any time and you can sell the contract on hand smoothly. On the contrary, there are relatively few transactions in light contracts and the trading volume is sparse. Sometimes you can’t sell if you want to. If the opponent takes over and intends to buy but no one is selling, the price will either be stagnant or jump rapidly. Therefore, the direction is to make appropriate futures contracts.
