Speculation in gold futures trading is to buy low and sell high, earn the difference, sell and open positions when the expected price falls, and then buy and close positions after the gold futures price falls. If the price is expected to rise, buy and open the position first, and then sell and close the position after the gold futures price goes down.

Gold futures adopt long and short two-way trading mechanism and implement T+0 mode. Investors can sell on the day of purchase, which greatly improves the flexibility of investment transactions. Investors should generally open futures accounts in member brokers of the gold futures exchange and sign risk disclosure books and trading account agreements. And authorize the broker to buy and sell the contract and pay the deposit.
