B. what are the necessary conditions for futures investment?

Judging from the classification of the market, the current futures market is mainly composed of financial futures and commodity futures. Among them, stock index futures is the only financial futures product in China. Therefore, we should look at the entry threshold of commodity futures and stock index futures respectively.

In fact, the entry threshold of commodity futures market is not high. For radical investors, 2400 yuan can enter the market.

Among them, strong wheat and corn have the lowest margin threshold. At present, the price of corn and strong wheat is about 2400 yuan/ton, and each trading unit 10 ton. The benchmark margin ratio stipulated by the exchange is 5% and 6%, and the reference margin of futures companies is 8% and 10%, that is, the margin to be paid for each transaction is not higher than 2400 yuan. Therefore, for stable investors with positions ranging from 20% to 30%, the minimum trading threshold for them to enter the futures market is about 8,000 yuan ~ 1.2 million yuan; For some radical investors whose positions are 50%~ 100%, the entry threshold is 2400 ~4800 yuan. In addition, among the more active varieties of 1 1, there are 8 futures varieties that need insufficient funds12,000 yuan, and the required funds from high to low are: silver, natural rubber, cotton, soybean oil, sugar, soybean, rebar and soybean meal.

Still based on the above positions, for radical investors, the funds needed to participate in most transactions are 12000 ~24000 yuan. Steady investors, the entry threshold is 40,000 ~ 60,000 yuan. Novices who don't understand can go to the ranger stock market to simulate futures, practice more and learn more, and then enter the market for actual combat after accumulating certain experience, so as to reduce the probability of losses after entering the market.

The threshold of stock index futures mainly has the following requirements:

1. When applying for opening an account, the balance of available funds in the margin account shall not be less than RMB 500,000;

2. Have basic knowledge of stock index futures and pass relevant tests;

3. Having more than 20 simulated trading records of stock index futures with a total of 10 trading days, or having more than 10 trading records of commodity futures in the last three years;

4. There is no serious bad credit record; There are no laws, administrative regulations, rules and business rules of the exchange to prohibit or restrict the trading of stock index futures.

However, it must be reminded that since futures trading is leveraged trading, if you are an investor who has just entered the market, you should not take too high a position in the trading process to avoid the risk of short positions in extreme market conditions.

■ What is the certification of futures practitioners?

According to the management rules of responsible persons and salesmen of futures commission merchants, it is required to be qualified as a salesman of futures commission merchants and apply for a work permit after being affiliated with the company before engaging in futures trading.

Compared with brokers, the salesmen of futures traders are similar in nature, and there are also differences of 108,000 miles. Similarly, the contents of futures salesmen and securities salesmen are the same, which are nothing more than taking orders, placing orders, buying and selling, trading, finding customers and developing customers. The difference lies in the nature of futures and stocks. Stocks are physical objects, while futures are contracts, which record how many months you buy (sell) dollars, oil, crops, etc. Except for a few contracts with the subject matter of the contract as the physical delivery, most contracts are closed before the expiration date to settle the price difference and calculate the profit and loss.

In addition, the most important thing for futures salesmen is the collection of information, the market and trend of international money and financial products, and international financial news, which can be used as the basis for decision-making and provide reference for customers. If you are engaged in the futures market in Europe, America or Japan, then the working hours must match the trading hours in the local futures market, so the adjustment of working hours is also the place where futures salesmen must adapt.

■ What are the benefits of becoming a futures practitioner?

Like brokers, futures salesmen also adopt the system of low basic salary and high bonus, so wide contacts are also the added value of futures salesmen. In addition, the futures market in Taiwan Province Province is still in its infancy, and the number of people with futures licenses in Taiwan Province Province is far lower than that with securities business licenses. It can be said that it is a virgin land to be developed and there should be considerable room for development.

E. What are the rules for commodities to enter the futures market?

The function of the futures market:

1. price discovery: the so-called price discovery refers to the use of open bidding and other trading systems in the market to form a market price that reflects the relationship between market supply and demand. Specifically, the market price can make an expected response to the future trend of the market, and together with the spot market, * * * makes an expectation.

2. Hedging: Hedging refers to trading activities in which the futures market is used as a place to transfer price risks, and futures contracts are used as temporary substitutes for buying and selling commodities in the spot market in the future, so as to insure the prices of commodities that you buy now or need to buy in the future.

The function and characteristics of the futures market;

The first is that the objects of the transaction are different. The scope of spot trading includes all commodities; The object of futures trading is the standardized contract formulated by the exchange. All the terms in the contract, such as the quantity, quality, margin ratio, delivery place, delivery method and transaction method, are standardized, and only the price in the contract is a free price formed through market bidding transactions. As for the futures contract, we have already talked about it.

The second is that the purpose of the transaction is different. In spot trading, the buyer is to obtain goods; The seller is to sell the goods and realize their value. The purpose of futures trading is to transfer price risk or profit from speculation. When you start futures trading, some thoughts may appear in your mind: "If I trade a contract as a buyer or a seller, what should I do when the contract expires and I have to provide this commodity?" Where can I buy soybeans for delivery? "In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Less than 1% of futures transactions need to be delivered. As a trader, you just need to make sure to close your position before the contract is delivered. Remember: less than 1% of futures contracts need physical delivery, and most contracts are hedged or closed before delivery.

The third is the different transaction procedures. In spot trading, the seller can only sell the goods, and the buyer can only buy them by paying cash. This is the trading procedure of spot trading. Futures trading can reverse the procedure of spot trading, that is, you can sell without goods and buy without goods. Investors who have just entered the futures market often ask: how do I sell what I don't have? To understand why, please remember the definition of futures contract. A futures contract is an "agreement" to buy and sell a certain quantity and quality of goods at a certain time in the future, rather than actually buying and selling something in kind. Therefore, the sale of futures contracts is to sign an agreement to deliver the subject matter at some time in the future. Doing stocks, trading, and real estate investment can only be bought first and then sold, which is a "one-way street" and forms people's habitual thinking mode. Futures trading is a "two-way street", you can buy first and then sell, or you can sell first and then buy. Therefore, futures trading is very flexible and there are many opportunities. When the stock market encounters a bear market, the price falls all the way, and investors have no chance to make a profit. Futures trading is different. If you predict that futures prices will rise, you can buy futures contracts. You can judge that it will fall, or you can sell futures. As long as you make the right prediction and make the right direction, there will be opportunities for profit regardless of the bull market and bear market.

The fourth is that the guarantee system of the transaction is different. Spot trading is protected by contract law and other laws. If the contract cannot be performed, it shall be settled by law or arbitration. The basis of futures trading is the margin system to ensure the performance of traders. The futures exchange provides settlement and delivery services and performance guarantees for both parties to the transaction, and implements a strict settlement and delivery system, with little risk of default. Futures trading should implement the margin system. The dealer does not need to pay the full amount equal to the contract amount, but only needs to pay the performance bond of 5% ~ 15%. Traders control the full value of futures contracts with a small amount of money, of course. Leverage is one of the reasons why the futures market attracts speculators. The margin system not only magnifies the profit rate, but also magnifies the risk.

The fifth is the difference in trading methods. Spot trading is the trading activity of actual goods. The transaction process is synchronized with the transfer of commodity ownership. Futures trading is the trading of various commodity futures contracts, and the whole trading process only reflects the buying and selling relationship of commodity ownership, and has no direct connection with the transfer of commodity entities. No matter how many times it is bought and sold, only the last holder has the obligation to perform physical delivery. Others just need to reverse the transaction before the contract expires, settle the original transaction and settle the bid-ask difference. In addition, spot trading activities can be carried out anytime and anywhere, and the specific transaction content is agreed by both parties through consultation, which has strong flexibility. Futures trading must be conducted in a standardized market in an open, fair and just manner according to law. In the transaction, the buyer and the seller do not meet each other, and there is no personal relationship between them.

F. What are the futures account terms for crude oil?

Here, I suggest that you can choose spot gold, a low-threshold investment product, for 24-hour T+0 trading and two-way profit.

G. what knowledge do you need to know to prepare futures?

1, 1/3 positions, at most half of them. Futures speculation pays more attention to fund management and cannot be operated in Man Cang. Because the futures contract is a margin transaction and the contract has a time limit, we should pay full attention to the fund balance in the account. .

2. Restrain the impulse of short-term operation. Because futures are T+0 transactions, many investors have the impulse to operate in the short term. Moreover, in order to increase the transaction fee income, some futures companies constantly advise investors to carry out band operation and short-term operation.

3. To have a trading strategy and stick to it for a long time, the trading strategy is not so profound. Trading strategies generally include stop-loss conditions, take-profit conditions and entry opportunities. As long as you have a trading strategy and can stick to it for a long time, your chances of winning will far exceed those without trading strategy.

4. Choose a good agent or instructor. Generally, futures investors rarely make a profit in the first year, and basically pay tuition fees, so finding a good broker or instructor is the best way to reduce tuition fees. What kind of agency is suitable for you?

5, need to learn, any investment needs to learn. This is especially true for stock trading and futures speculation. No investment is as direct as stock trading and futures speculation. When money becomes money, you don't have to pay taxes, so you need to study more.

6, you need actual combat, just making a simulation disk is not enough. You can't get through this psychological level, just like learning to swim. Never learn if you don't enter the pool.

7. Novices can also consider participating in futures training.

H Do the conditions for entering the futures market include past business records?

No, there is no requirement for opening a commodity account. You only need to bring your ID card and bank card to open an account, and a stock index account needs 500,000 yuan for capital verification.
