What does futures locking mean and how to operate it well?
Futures lock-in means that in actual operation, we sell at one time and buy in the same contract. After this operation, no matter how the market changes, our loss will only be the price difference and handling fee in the contract. Generally speaking, futures locking will be more used in volatile markets, followed by locking in rising markets to prevent unexpected situations. This skill can help us avoid many unnecessary risks.

Futures lock positions are often used in volatile markets. This is because futures prices will toss back and forth in the volatile market. If this repetition is reversed or wrong, then the most direct impact is to open positions at high positions and short positions at low positions. The degree of profit loss is faster than that of unilateral market, which has an extremely obvious impact on mentality. In this case, locking the position means that we can do two things. For example, when we opened more positions at a higher position and found that we had made a mistake, we immediately opened short positions at a higher position, so that no matter how the market goes, the biggest loss of our account assets will always be the commission plus the difference between the two.

Under such circumstances, if futures prices continue to weaken, then once a downward trend is formed, then we can close many orders in our hands and let the profits of empty orders run with peace of mind. If the variety rebounds at a low level and continues to choose range volatility, then we will level the empty order, and its rebound height is our profit, and the net account value will increase as usual.

Therefore, futures locking is a way to lock in risks and gain benefits, which can help us avoid many losses.

Futures locking operation:

1. Multi-head single lock warehouse. In the case of holding multiple single positions for a long time, lock in multiple single profits and avoid the callback trend of sub-level or sub-level. When the callback ends or the empty order has a certain profit, the empty order is flat, and the multiple orders maintain the original risk control and continue to be held.

2. Multi-head empty single lock position. In the case of holding long-term empty orders, lock in the profits of empty orders, avoid the rebound trend of sub-levels or sub-levels, wait until the rebound is over or there is a certain profit margin for rebounding multiple orders, close positions and keep the original risk control of long-term empty orders.

3. Vibration lock. In the volatile market, the entry point of opening positions is the long-term trading points in the broader market, avoiding the callback trend brought by the volatile market, and constantly sucking blood to grow in the shock, while keeping the bottom position unchanged. For example, if you buy more than one at the bottom of the box, it will continue to rise in the general direction. At this time, you need to hedge the locking position of the top of the box to earn the difference between the upper and lower edges of the box. Once the box breaks up, the hedged empty orders will lose money, then the empty orders will close their positions in the trend callback and continue to hold multiple orders.

4. Lock the warehouse all night. This locking method is mainly suitable for gold, silver, crude oil and other varieties closely related to the external market. Because the trading hours of domestic futures and foreign futures are different. These highly related varieties will probably have a gap corresponding to the outer disk every time they open. In this case, it is necessary to lock the warehouse before closing. Of course, the specific situation needs to be treated in a specific way. If it continues to rise or fall, this locking is not desirable. On the other hand, if you don't lock it, you will get more tangled profits. As far as the current exchange situation is concerned, the varieties of Zhengshang and Dashang are less affected by the external market.
