Investors generally have the following criteria when choosing futures trading varieties (only the speculative part of investors is considered here, and the hedging part of investors is not considered).

1. Varieties familiar to investors;

If you choose to invest in any variety, you must have a basic understanding of this variety. Of course, familiarity has different meanings for traders who use fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

Investors are most afraid to participate in the transaction without knowing anything about the variety, which will lead to two consequences: first, there is no clear judgment standard for price changes, and there is no bottom in mind; Second, the lack of price judgment is easy to disturb the investment mentality, thus making the next investment direction more chaotic. Even if you make a profit for a while, you may make a wrong decision in future investment, leading to greater losses.

2. Good liquidity and large turnover;

In order to facilitate trading, we usually choose varieties with large turnover when choosing varieties, which makes it easier to get in and out.

3. The fluctuation is large and the trend is good.

The so-called big fluctuation refers to the big fluctuation of the day. For example, the fluctuation range of a day is usually greater than 1%, and the fluctuation is even greater when there is a market occasionally. This is especially important for investors who do day trading. If you buy this variety, the price will remain unchanged for a long time. Don't be wronged to death. The other means that the price fluctuates greatly the next day.
