Besides Shanghai and Shenzhen, there are four futures exchanges in China. At present, there are many kinds of futures listed in China, and many investors are interested in investing in futures. So what's the difference between stock trading and futures? Let's get to know each other.

What's the difference between stock trading and futures?

Compared with stocks, futures have higher risks, higher returns and more flexible trading.

1 high risk and high return: the high risk of futures mainly lies in its margin trading system. The minimum margin of many commodity futures is 4% or 5%, which means that there is 25 or 20 times leverage, so the profit and loss of investors' positions is 25 or 20 times that of market fluctuations.

2 more flexible: first, because futures can be traded in two directions, that is, buying up and buying down; Second, because futures implement the trading system of T+0. Take A-shares as an example, only some shares with the word "Rong" can be traded in two directions, and A-shares are subject to the trading system of T+ 1.

Because the trading risk of futures is relatively high, Bian Xiao suggested that you should not try to invest in futures easily. Even if you want to try, you should control the risk by controlling the position, controlling the trading frequency and strictly stopping the loss.
