Stock index futures are futures contracts with the stock price index as the subject matter, and the popular understanding is a price quiz game with the stock price index as the object. You can buy up (term: long) or buy down (term: short). Niu Jiao cows and bears are called bears.
Both the bull and the bear pay a margin of 10%-40% to buy and sell stock index futures contracts (the specific margin amount is stipulated by China Financial Futures Exchange), and then calculate the profit and loss according to the price of 300 yuan at each index point. Every time the index rises by one point, the bulls gain 300 yuan and the bears lose 300 yuan. Every time the index drops by one point, the bears gain 300 yuan and the bulls lose 300 yuan. This 300 yuan/point is called the price multiplier.
