The deposit can be paid in cash or stock. When the stock price rises and falls, the margin falls below the minimum maintenance amount, that is, a margin reminder is sent to the customer, asking the customer to add the margin and close the position. When a customer borrows money from a securities company that pays a deposit to buy a certain stock futures, the customer cannot take away the purchased stock. Once the deposit paid by the customer is insufficient and there is no liquidity to make up the borrowed funds in time, there will be a situation of untimely liquidation. At this time, in order not to make their own interests suffer losses and take unnecessary risks, stock brokers will take the action of covering their futures stocks with the current market price to make up for their unpaid deposits.
The Federal Reserve stipulates that the minimum maintenance amount of the deposit shall not be less than 50% of the market price of customers' short selling or short selling of stocks, and the minimum amount shall not be less than 2000 US dollars.
Learn to lighten up positions.
When the stock market or futures market is in a weak position, in order to ensure the safety of funds, stop-loss points should be set when opening positions. Once the stop loss point is reached and it is determined that the trend is weakening, it is necessary to decisively lighten the position. Usually, the stop loss point is set at the 10 moving average, important support level or sensitive price of the stock, or it can be 10% of the opening cost or the acceptable total loss amount.
Lightening positions is skillful, generally losing half of the positions for the first time. After cutting off half of the positions, you need to play it by ear. If the stock price or futures price rises, you can use the other half of your position to reduce losses or even turn losses into wins; If the stock price falls further, you can make up for it with the cash in hand, dilute the cost step by step, and seek opportunities to solve the problem.
Timing of cutting position
First, positions should be reduced:
1, the trend has broken through the reverse key price, and there is no sign of turning around.
2, most of the funds are locked up, and another currency may get more income than lightening its position and fleeing.
3. Enter the market near the highest or lowest point for a long time, and the trend is slightly tempted, that is, turn around and reverse. [7]
Second, it is not recommended to lighten up:
1, which fluctuates frequently and is in the middle price.
2. Although there is deviation, the point of strong impact resistance (pressure point) is blocked.
3. The trend of one or more currencies is obvious, and cross selling is possible.
Of course, the actual operation still depends on personal analysis. Accurately judging whether to lighten up the position is a very important part of foreign exchange trading, but the firm offer is not suitable for intraday trading because of the large price difference, so it is very cautious to lighten up the position.
