For example, stock investment needs 10000, and the basic requirement of stock index futures investment is 100000. The more capital is invested, the greater the risk. Moreover, domestic stock index futures accounts require users to deposit more than 500,000 yuan, and commodity futures trading records are more than 10. It seems that the risk of stock index futures trading is greater than that of stock trading, both in terms of investment amount and income ratio.
Some users will retort that the risk of stock market futures trading is controllable, and users can increase income, lock risks and reduce investment risks by closing positions, adding positions and locking positions. Is that really the case? When you do the above operations, the premise is to have an accurate judgment on the future stock market. What will happen if the judgment is not accurate? I won't emphasize it here.
Everything has two sides. Some users think that the locking operation of stock index trading can effectively avoid risks, but it may also avoid the possibility of profit. So I always think that the risk of stock index trading is greater than the risk of stock trading. After all, with leverage, once the market is not sure, it will lose everything. However, stock trading is different. See the situation is wrong, you can sell your own stock stop loss in time.
The risk of stock index futures trading is so great that users who want to make a profit in this market need to control the investment risk by learning and mastering futures trading skills. What skills can they learn and learn from? As follows:
1. Be familiar with the rules of futures trading, the use of futures trading software and the basic system of futures market, and control the risks arising from ignorance of trading. In particular, traders who are used to long stocks should learn to short, and don't be persistent in long positions regardless of price and time.
2. Control positions and stops. Daily settlement will bring short-term financial pressure. Investors should learn to abandon the operating habits of Man Cang trading in the stock market, control the margin ratio, and prevent the risk of being forced to close their positions due to insufficient margin. Don't be driven by luck or greed, and add positions against the trend of self-feeling.
3. Do a good job in risk control of contract expiration. Due to the existence of the expiration date of stock index futures, investors should grasp the characteristics of stock index futures contracts returning to spot prices on the one hand, and pay attention to the delivery problem when the contracts expire on the other hand.
4. Adhere to discipline and don't turn hedging into speculative trading. Hedgers should make corresponding hedging plans according to their own financial situation or stock investment scale. Arbitrators are generally risk-averse, and what they pursue is the steady growth of funds. They should not change their investment strategy on impulse and make one-way speculation, leading to blind orders like betting.
