1. Short-selling mechanism: Futures can be traded in both directions, unlike stocks that are only bought first and then sold. You can buy futures when you are bullish, sell futures when you are bearish, and make money both up and down, which is more flexible.

2.T+0 trading system: stocks can be bought today and sold tomorrow, and futures markets can buy now and sell now.

3. Leverage effect: Because of the role of margin, funds can be enlarged. For example, if you buy 100 yuan stock, it will rise to 1 10, which means that you earn 10%. For futures, if you buy a contract of 65,438+000 yuan, the margin ratio is 65,438+00%. If the price rises to 1 10, then you earn 10 yuan, which means you earn 100%.

4. The market changes quickly, and there are many opportunities: the opportunity of profiteering caused by the leverage of funds is ten times that of the stock market, and there are many speculators in the market, so the market changes quickly. Futures rose by 3%, which is equivalent to a 30% increase in stocks.

5. Futures market operation: unilateral and arbitrage can be used (hedging is generally aimed at production enterprises). Unilateral: only sell, not buy, buy when bullish, and sell when bearish. It belongs to speculation. Arbitrage: buy at the same time and sell at the same time (for example, you are doing intertemporal arbitrage, because the contract has a term, you can buy and sell the same type of contract in different delivery months, for example, you can buy soybean recent contract and sell soybean forward contract, because the delivery time is different, the trend will not be exactly the same, and you can earn the difference after closing the position. ), do not predict the rise and fall of the market, and earn the difference. Buy and sell at the same time, hedge the risk pair and obtain stable income. Arbitrage also takes many forms. . . I won't go into details.
