There are many differences between securities investment and futures investment, but there are three main points. Take stocks and stock futures as examples.

1. Margin trading.

Buying Vanke, 10 yuan shares, and buying 100 shares requires 1000 yuan. The purchase of Vanke stock futures only requires100 *10 *10% =100 yuan. It means that in the futures market, about 10% of the funds can control 100% of the subject matter. This is the so-called margin trading. Can expand the utilization rate of funds. Thereby amplifying the benefits and risks by 10 times.

2. Two-way transaction is very convenient.

Domestic stocks are generally bought at a low price and then sold at a high price to earn the difference. In terms of futures, you can buy before you sell, or you can sell before you buy. As long as you look at the direction, buy low and sell high, you can make money.

3.t+0。

Futures is a t+0 transaction. You can open positions on the same day and close positions on the same day. There is no limit to the number of transactions. However, the stock is t+ 1. I bought it on the same day and can't sell it until the next day.

These are the main differences. I hope it helps you.
