Brief introduction of futures trading characteristics:
1. Futures is a zero-sum market, and the futures market itself does not create profits. In a certain period of time, regardless of the transaction costs of capital entry and exit, the total amount of funds in the futures market remains unchanged, and the profits of market participants come from the losses of another trader. The stock market has entered a bear market, the market price has shrunk dramatically, the dividends are meager, the state and enterprises absorb funds, and there is no short-selling mechanism. The total amount of funds in the stock market will show negative growth for a period of time, and the total profit is less than the loss. (Zero is always greater than a negative number)
2. The comprehensive policy of the country, the needs of economic development and the characteristics of futures all determine that futures have a huge development space. The full name of stock index futures is stock price index futures, which can also be called stock index futures and futures index. Refers to the standardized futures contract with the stock index as the target. The two sides agreed to buy and sell the underlying index on a specific date in the future according to the size of the stock index determined in advance. As a type of futures trading, stock index futures trading has basically the same characteristics and processes as ordinary commodity futures trading.
