Skills of speculating futures:

1. Make a trading plan

Investors have great freedom to choose profits and losses when they are engaged in stock index futures trading. It is the right of free choice that brings a double-edged sword effect, which can facilitate investors to flexibly adjust their investment strategies.

2. Fund management

Fund management may not be an important principle in the stock market, but it is the primary investment management principle in the futures market. Even the most successful trader cannot guarantee that every investment is successful. What the futures market needs is that the profit of profit trading is greater than the loss of loss trading in order to succeed, rather than relying on the success rate of 100%. Due to the characteristics of high leverage mechanism of futures, if only one investment is unsuccessful and there is no clear stop-loss trading plan, all funds may be lost. Therefore, fund management has become the primary operating principle of the futures market.

3. Determine the stop loss position and take profit position.

Due to the futures margin trading system, debt-free day settlement system and relatively short futures contract period, investors must always have enough funds to add margin when they lose money to ensure that the position margin exceeds the standards set by futures companies. When investors lose money, they can't wait for a solution like speculating in stocks, and investors can't keep their futures investment positions for a long time.

4. Reasonably choose the timing of entry and exit.

If it is a mid-line investment position, it is more favorable to judge whether the market is a bull market or a bear market with basic analysis; If it is a short-term position investment, technical analysis is more suitable for grasping the opportunity to enter the market.
