Before concluding the transaction, Shenmu should pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Before futures trading, have a detailed understanding of the basic knowledge and trading varieties of futures trading. Because futures trading involves many factors such as finance, macroeconomic policies, economic trends at home and abroad, and different listed varieties also have their own trend characteristics, especially agricultural futures are greatly affected by natural factors such as weather. Before participating in futures trading, we should have a comprehensive understanding of the above. Only by accurately understanding the above contents can we accurately grasp the market trend.
2. Grasp the long-term trend and conduct futures trading according to the general trend. Futures belongs to wide-area finance, which is greatly influenced by national macro-policies and macroeconomic trends at home and abroad. Generally speaking, when the macro economy is in the adjustment period, the overall price level will gradually decline, which will lead to the futures market based on the spot market entering a bear market; On the other hand, if the macroeconomic situation is in an expansion period, the futures market may also enter a bull market with the rise of the overall price index. Futures trading should conform to the long-term trend of the broader market, and should focus on bargain-hunting in the bull market, and don't grab the callback easily; On the contrary, in a bear market, we should focus on shorting rallies, and don't rush to rebound easily.
3, the operation should be in accordance with the long-term, medium-term and short-term order to judge the market trend. Generally speaking, the risk will be reduced when the three time periods enter the market in the same direction; When the directions of the three time periods are different, the direction of the people's market should be determined in the order that short-term obeys medium-term and medium-term obeys long-term.
4. Combination of fundamental analysis and technical analysis. There are two main analysis methods of futures market, namely fundamental analysis method and technical analysis method. The former judges the market trend from the perspective of product supply and demand, and the conclusion can reflect the long-term trend of price; The latter pays more attention to operational skills, and it is more effective to analyze the short-term trend of futures prices. Therefore, when analyzing the market trend, we should combine these two methods to judge the long-term trend of the market by fundamental analysis and the short-term position of the market by technical analysis.
5. Rational allocation and use of funds. Futures trading adopts the margin system. When the market is in the right direction, the leverage effect of margin financing and securities lending will increase the profit rate of traders, otherwise, it will increase the losses of investors. At that time, traders need to add margin if they want to continue to hold positions. Therefore, in order to control the loss, it is generally appropriate to use 1/3 of the funds, and the remaining 2/3 of the funds are used as backup, and the maximum utilization rate of funds shall not exceed 1/2. Judging from the reality, the main reason for many traders to lighten their positions is the Man Cang operation.
6. As far as possible, make use of the price difference between different delivery months in the same futures market for inter-temporal profit, or make use of the price difference between different markets for cross-market arbitrage of the same commodity.
7. Strictly stop the loss in the process of futures trading and control the loss within the range that you can bear. Practice has proved that strict stop loss is the best way to control losses.
