Stocks correspond to listed companies, and futures correspond to commodities, such as corn futures, rebar futures, apple futures and egg futures. These are all encountered in our daily life and are relatively grounded!
The stock is T+ 1 trading. I bought it today and can't sell it tomorrow. Futures is a T+0 transaction, which can be bought and sold, flexible!
Futures are leveraged transactions, but stocks are not! For example, a stock of 20,000 yuan, you have to pay 20,000 yuan to buy it, and a futures contract of 20,000 yuan, you can buy it with 2,000 yuan;
Futures trading has a time limit, but stocks don't! If you buy a stock, you can keep it if it falls. As long as the stock is not delisted, theoretically you can hold it forever! However, futures are different. Futures are subject to the maturity date. For example, the contract of 2 105 will expire in May, that is, 202 1. Then, at the end of April, ordinary retail investors will have to change their contracts. If they don't, they will be forced by the futures company, and there is no room for discussion!
If the stock loses money, you don't want to cut the meat and stay put. If the futures lose money, once the available funds are negative, you must pay attention to replenish the margin in time, otherwise you may be forced to sell! The author shares a good stock leverage platform, Yao Xin Science and Technology, firm trading, no capital threshold. You can bet on the trend of the stock, but many times, even if you look at the right trend, you will be forced to close your position because of the margin problem! Therefore, futures are more risky than stocks because of margin, debt-free system and contract term system!
Of course, futures are not useless! The biggest advantage is that trading is flexible, making money, and you can close your position in time to keep profits. If you find that the market is wrong, you can also go out in time to prevent further losses! But these are all based on personal superb trading skills!
Therefore, speculation in stocks and futures is done by people. The key is to consider your risk tolerance!
