Due to the bad stock market this year, more and more investors have entered the futures market, but there are many differences between speculating in futures and speculating in stocks. The following points are listed for the reference of new investors in the futures market: 1, one-third position, and most half position operation. 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. Many investors like Man Cang to speculate in stocks, but they don't like to speculate in futures. If Man Cang operates casually, a small fluctuation may force your account to be closed. 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. In fact, short-term operation is a death accelerator for most investors. Unless investors are extremely talented, it is difficult to make long-term stable profits. 3, we must 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. As for what trading strategy to adopt, predecessors have left many works, such as turtle trading rules. Investors can choose one and turn it into their own trading strategy. These classic strategies are still applicable now, and the key is whether they can be strictly observed and persisted. 4. Choose a good broker or instructor. Generally, futures investors rarely make profits 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? First of all, don't look for an inexperienced agent, because it is difficult for him to give you any guidance. His information was provided by the company. When his information reaches you, it is either delayed or left out. Second, don't look for short-term experts. He's definitely not for you. His thinking and operation are too fast for you to keep up with, and it is difficult for beginners to learn. You need to find a long-term investor who can hold one direction for six months, one year or even more than two or three years. It is not easy to achieve 1 10,000 from 1 10,000. If you can easily achieve 1 10,000 from 1 10,000, it will be easy to drop from 1 10,000 to 1 10,000, or even lose money. From 65438+ 10,000 to 1 10,000,110,000 or even hundreds of millions of people, there is no one who is not doing long-term work. According to the economic cycle and price fluctuation cycle, they open positions at low positions and gradually open positions at high positions. Some people call it "sitting in the village". In fact, this is called strategic investment in futures. Mature institutional investors do this because of the general trend of economic laws. 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. It is necessary to read some classic books on futures trading technology, but it is not enough to read only books on trading technology. We should pay attention to the situation of spot goods, understand various indicators that affect the trend of spot prices, and determine the weight of each indicator. John murphy's "Technical Analysis of Futures Market" is a book for futures personnel, but those who have studied this book will win or lose, which is determined by the rules of the futures market. No matter how good the futures market is, the worst market is 50-50. In fact, accurately speaking, they will lose more because they have earned a lot of transaction fees by futures companies and exchanges. However, the futures market will never be as tragic as the stock market in the first half of the year, with a loss of 30% being a master. 6, 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 consider participating in futures training.
