The so-called large-scale market making is by no means unprovoked, just taking what you need and making use of the topic. Any small family can get this information. As long as you study hard and pay attention to the opposite of retail psychology, you will have a chance to make a profit. Therefore, as long as you master certain investment strategies, little people will have their own fun and world.
Stop loss is always the first.
Any business has risks, just like equal profit opportunities, which are two sides of the same problem. It should be said that the size of futures risk lies in its own control, and the main means of control is to stop loss in time. If the compensation range is set when entering the market, the stop loss point is set, and the stop loss order is given in advance, if you are long, you will surrender if you fall below the support point; If you are short, you will be out if you break the resistance line, so that the risk can be controlled in your own hands. Small people should always put firm stop loss in the first place, so as to minimize the risk.
Among them, "not afraid of pity, but most afraid of delay" is the most important principle of stop loss. Since everyone has the opportunity to make mistakes in market analysis, the difference between smart and stupid lies in that smart people are good at breaking their arms and dealing with them decisively; Stupid people are often dragged to death by the market. Small people must have a stop-loss concept without hesitation and mercy in trading. If they win, they will fight, and if they don't win, they will withdraw. You can seek high profits without taking high risks.
Let the profits run.
Set a limit when you lose money, and earn enough when you earn. This is the only rule for small people to win in the futures market. Successful traders pay attention to "stability, accuracy and fierceness". The so-called fierceness means that they will never let go when they seize the opportunity of profit, and strive to expand the results and create great victories. A total victory can make up for the inevitable small losses and maintain the overall profit. There must be a good reason to close the profitable position and leave. As long as there is no turning point signal, we must stick to it, just as the timing of entering the market should be carefully studied and the price should be carefully selected when closing the position.
The market is developing in waves, so we need to analyze the trajectory of waves and find out where the peaks and valleys are. If we do more at the bottom of a wave, the rally has just begun, not to mention the top of a wave, and even the middle point has not come, why rush to close the position? Since the list at hand just conforms to the general trend and does not go against the market, let it run for a while and have a good time.
What you put in your pocket is your own.
In daily transactions, the most annoying thing is that the entry direction is correct, and even there is a considerable floating profit, but then the market reversed and the cooked duck flew away. What should have made money has now turned into a loss. This situation is the biggest psychological blow to the little people. Little people buy and sell futures just to make money, and what they put in their pockets is their own.
In the futures market, the spread profit of any transaction, as long as the position is opened for one day, is only a floating profit. Only by grasping the opportunity and closing the position in time can the floating profit become realized profit and put it in your pocket. No matter how big the uptrend or downtrend is, it is a wave-like development, and it will not rise to the top in one breath or fall to the end at once. If you go up for a while, you will always retreat a little and fall a little. Going down for a while will always consolidate and rise. After trading in the waves, it is estimated that you have almost reached your profit target. You should close your position in time and put your money in your pocket. Otherwise, once the trend is reversed, the original floating profit will shrink or even disappear.
Profitable, that is, liquidation.
Small people are generally overjoyed when they encounter such a market, that is, sometimes they encounter a sudden big market when they first enter the market, and suddenly there is a big floating profit in their positions. In the face of this windfall, an important principle is to close the position immediately and collect the profits.
The reason is easy to explain. For example, people who suddenly rise sharply and are lucky enough to earn more than twice the profit will definitely take profits and sell technology; Those who are short at the bottom are deeply involved. Those who have no strength have already reduced their positions. Some people with strong support will increase their empty goods and raise the average price. However, the number of people who have not entered the market has increased so much that few people will go to the new order to buy. Under the influence of various forces, the market will inevitably consolidate or pull back, and profits will shrink or even disappear.
In the early 1980s, American President Ronald Reagan was suddenly assassinated, and the international gold price immediately soared by more than 30 dollars, and those who were long gained multiple profits at once. But these profits can only be guaranteed by closing the position immediately, because the hospital later confirmed that President Reagan's injury was not life-threatening, and because he was strong and expected to recover in a short time, the gold market would soften when he heard the news, and those who did not close the position early would become "drawing water with a sieve."
Never put all your eggs in one basket at any time.
In the process of ordinary people investing in futures, the use of funds is very important. It is an important principle to allocate funds well and not put all your eggs in one basket. The investment of small funds should not blindly follow the trend, and it needs careful operation.
Futures trading is a margin system, and the margin ratio is usually equivalent to about 10% of the total contract value. If the price fluctuates a little more, two or three daily limit boards or daily limit boards will lose a lot. So in the process of using funds, we must leave room and do what we can. There are always people who want to eat a fat man in one bite, and they can make a lot of money if they are sure. However, everything in the world is not absolute, and the ups and downs of futures are always wave-like. Not to mention that sometimes there is a sudden news to turn the market around. Even if there is a wave of rebound, there will be temporary floating losses. If the margin is raised, you will be forced to pay the bill because there is no backup and no second set of capital. When the storm passed and the market rebounded sharply, there was only regret. Facts have also proved that the consequences of doing so are all greedy for cheap for a while and finally suffered a big loss.
Play cards against common sense
Many investors lose money because they often play cards according to common sense, but the futures market often goes against the trend. At this time, it seems that they have lost miserably. Small investors should pay special attention to the opposite of retail psychology and don't play cards according to common sense.
What do you mean unreasonable?
The rise and fall of the futures market is ultimately a contest between buyers and sellers. If you buy more than you sell, it will go up, and if you sell more than you buy, it will go down. In the process of capital redistribution in the futures market, the opposite of both buyers and sellers making money by themselves is that their opponents lose money. The buyer avoids the risk on the premise that the seller bears the risk, and the seller is right, at the cost of the buyer's misunderstanding of the market. In other words, most people buy and sell futures to earn the difference, but only if someone loses the difference at the same time.
For example, when bullish news comes out, under normal circumstances, traders should mostly buy, making buyers stronger than sellers in the market, thus generating a great upward thrust and raising prices. If the market falls instead of rising in this case, it reflects the extraordinary strength of the seller. When most people in the market buy or sell, the "minority" who can afford to buy or sell in large quantities must be large. A big family that dares to compete with the "most people" is naturally strong and has a set of strategies. It goes without saying that the winner will be the deer.
In addition, whether a futures contract is bought or sold, it must be closed or closed before it can be bought. However, the power of new orders and clearing orders in the market is just the opposite. When people are bullish on buying or bearish on selling, they will close their positions sooner or later. If some basic factors or technical factors make them close their positions in unison, they will trample on themselves, be defeated like a mountain, and the trend will go to the opposite side. When the public psychology is one-sided, you will do the opposite, and of course you will receive the effect of "everyone loses, I win alone".
self-discipline
Many principles of futures investment strategy, for example, to follow the trend and not to trade against the trend; Not afraid of making mistakes, but most afraid of procrastination; Let profits run and so on, including 50 secrets, 100 winning secrets, I believe most traders are familiar with them. However, in fact, most people end up losing money. Obviously, the success or failure of the futures market lies not in which principle you believe in, but in whether your words and deeds are consistent and always implemented. Therefore, the key lies in self-discipline. Because the market is either up or down, the opportunity is 50-50, and ten transactions lose five and earn five. If you can make up your mind and stand firm, every time you lose five games, you will lose your wrist. On the whole, I believe it is not difficult to make a profit. Small people must learn self-discipline more than big people if they want to succeed in the investment market. Only by overcoming fluky psychology, reversing subjective consciousness, changing inertia style and honestly following the principles learned by ourselves can we make fewer mistakes.
Futures trading is full of challenges and excitement, attracting many people to participate and me. Although the methods of market analysis are constantly enriched and updated, and the strategies of futures trading have been discussed many times, they remain unchanged. For the investment of a single little person, the unchangeable principle is-you don't need to be proficient in theory, you just need to "plan your own transactions and trade your own plans" and overcome human weaknesses such as firmness and vacillation, patience and impatience, carefulness and carelessness, contentment and greed, decisiveness and slowness, and strict self-discipline. I believe that a small person like me in the futures market will definitely find his own investment fun and win his own victory.
