At present, all futures exchanges in China provide simulated trading platforms, so you may wish to practice your hands with simulated trading platforms first.
However, some people say that this kind of simulated trading has achieved outstanding results, but it has lost money in real trading. In fact, a very important reason is that everyone knows that the simulation is false, regardless of profit or loss, the mentality is relatively stable. When it comes to formal trading, you can't keep calm if you have a little profit or loss!
In futures trading, we should start with a small quantity.
In addition, everyone should try to avoid the delivery date being too close to the contract of the month.
For contracts close to the delivery month, first, the margin is usually higher; Second, due to the approaching delivery, with the gradual reduction of speculative transactions, liquidity is getting lower and lower; Most importantly, you may encounter the risk of being forced into storage in the delivery month, even if you think about it ~
But one kind of futures is an exception! That is stock index futures. Stock index futures are delivered in cash, and there is no problem of raising the margin, so the recent contract trading volume is the highest.
