Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts with cotton, soybeans, oil and other popular products and other financial assets such as stocks and bonds as the targets. For some friends, the futures investment trading strategy is still more concerned. So, what are the trading strategies for futures investment? Let's take a look together.

What are the trading strategies for futures investment?

1, mentality. The mentality of futures investment is very important. When you step into this market, it is undeniable that everyone comes with the desire to make money. Profit and loss will affect your mentality. What we should do is to miss rather than make mistakes. Only by controlling greed and overcoming fear can we make long-term profits.

2. stop loss Before placing an order, think about what the stop loss price is and whether it is reasonable. Fill in the stop-loss price immediately after placing the order. Why did you fill in the stop-loss price in the first place? If the market is not the trend you want, you can reduce the loss at the first time. Stop loss means stopping losses, and only small losses can keep vitality.

3. Take profits. Many people often don't take profit well, which makes the profit list become a loss list. Under the unilateral trend, take profit can increase profit space by pushing stop loss method. In the volatile market, profit often requires individuals to consider closing their positions, and not every order must earn thousands of dollars. In the fluctuating market, sometimes dozens of profits add up.

4. price. The price of the order is very important. Futures investment buys price instead of time, and price determines profit and loss. In the bilateral market, the reverse pursuit of orders has caused many people to lose money, and they must make orders with the trend; If it is in a volatile market, we must make good use of the mechanism of two-way trading, increase more and decrease less, and use the method of resistance support to place orders more effectively.

Commodity futures investment strategy

"Knowing to buy is an apprentice, knowing to sell is a master" is a common saying that is regarded as a mantra by investors and futures people. It is used to describe the importance of signal judgment of closing positions (referring to stock selling) in investment transactions. In fact, in addition to "buying" and "selling", there are also "short positions", that is, broken positions. Rest should be a link that cannot be ignored. At the same time, what we have to do is to observe the market and wait for the opportunity.

The right action comes from the right idea, and the right transaction depends on the correct judgment of the market. After the correct judgment, a series of plans must be made, including the plans of opening positions, adding positions (or covering positions) and closing positions (or stopping losses). Whether the plan is comprehensive and enforceable is related to the smooth implementation of investment transactions and the response to sudden market changes in the later period.

After the position is involved, the main work in the later period is to track the price trend. Due to the disorder of short-term price changes in the futures market and the leveraged margin system, a little price fluctuation can "touch" investors' hearts.

In a wave of trends, short-term repeated price changes are normal, and investors must face and choose whether to close their positions or continue to hold them! Therefore, how to deal with fluctuations and get out smoothly requires dynamic corresponding strategies.

First, the volume of transactions decreased, positions decreased and prices rose. This means that the long and short wait-and-see atmosphere is strong, reducing transactions, lightening positions and raising prices. It means that short sellers admit defeat and take the initiative to cover their positions (that is, buy hedging) to push up prices, which leads to price increases in the process of lightening their positions. However, the off-site bulls did not enter the market, and the short-term price went up, but it is likely to fall back soon.

Second, the volume of transactions increased, positions decreased and prices rose. This combination shows that the empty side has taken the initiative to close the position. If it appears at the bottom, it shows that the price has risen slightly, because the price has fallen to the bottom, and the empty side has a good mentality, while many parties are worried and will not pull up immediately. If it appears at the top, bears are eager to close their positions and chase the price level, while bulls only passively close their positions at high positions and do not actively suppress their forces, thus showing the characteristics of a sharp rise in prices. At this point, it shows that both short positions and long positions are in a large number of positions, and prices will fall.

Third, the volume of transactions increased, positions increased and prices fell. This means that both long and short positions add positions, but short positions take the initiative to add positions and chase prices to sell. The reason why sellers dare to chase is because they judge that there is still a lot of room for price decline. However, bulls are unwilling to admit defeat and passively add positions at low positions, and prices may fall in the short term. However, if this portfolio is oversold and seriously deviates from the average price in the short term, it will lead to short-term speculators and new multi-party intervention. In addition, some old empty cash will increase in price, and V-shaped reversal is more likely.
