Futures can be traded long and short, but stocks can only be traded long, with a single leg, which is still flawed. This is the shortcoming of stocks. In fact, in futures trading, if you think it is going to rise, you can buy it, hold it, and sell it after the trend reverses. If you think this type of futures is going to fall, then you can choose to go short. You can also make money by going short. Futures can be bought and sold regardless of the bull or bear market, which is flexible, convenient and fast.
Futures T+0, and stocks t+1. As long as you make money in futures, you can sell it at that time. No matter how the market goes, you can operate it. As for what to do if you don’t make money, you can only stop the loss. You can’t hold on to futures. Futures are more volatile than stocks, so you need to set A good stop loss is a must. As for stocks t+1, if you buy a stock that reaches the daily limit on that day, you cannot sell it or cash it out immediately. You can only cash it out the next day. Sometimes many stocks are at the daily limit today and will be at the lower limit tomorrow. There is no profit margin at all. I This has happened to me. I bought the price up to the daily limit on the same day, and then it fell directly at the end of the day, creating a roller coaster. If it is futures, then you can cash in your profits if the price limit is reached, and you will be safe, while the stock can only stare blankly.
Futures are leveraged trading, while stocks are not leveraged. Futures can use a small amount of capital, use leverage, buy more varieties, and enlarge profit margins, but stocks cannot. You can only buy as many stocks as you have as much capital as you have. After all, futures are leveraged. If Flush Futures is a regular platform, the leverage is ten times. Some domestic speculators who speculated on foreign exchange rates for gold once reached a leverage of 200 times. A fluctuation of 1%, if you can basically do math, you will know what it means. Risks and opportunities coexist, and under high positions or high leverage, people can easily lose their minds, adrenaline will rise, and they will basically be defeated.
Stocks more or less have a certain logic. T+0, coupled with the price limit with Chinese characteristics, is also helping the child walk to a certain extent. In fact, many elderly people do not agree with this system, but now China's finance is open. During the first five days of GEM's liberalization, there is no limit on price increases or decreases, and the basic opening prices are carefully calculated by institutions. The 20cm increase limit at the back, if it doesn’t grow, has the same meaning as unlimited increase or decrease. My personal suggestion is to buy stocks. There are too many unstable factors in futures.
