1. What do you mean by short futures?
Short futures position means that the futures account is negative assets, which can be simply understood as the loss amount has exceeded the margin in the account.
Under normal circumstances, when investors make losses due to Man Cang's operation, the futures company will promptly notify investors to add margin, and there will be no short positions.
Even if the addition is not timely, when the loss reaches 30% of the margin, the futures company will force the liquidation. For example, the deposit is 1 000 yuan. When the loss reaches 3000 yuan, it may be forced to close the position. At this time, investors need to bear the loss of 3000 yuan, and the deposit is still 7000 yuan.
When there are special circumstances such as gap changes in the market, there may be a risk that the margin is completely lost or even owed, that is, short positions. Investors are often passive after short positions, so they must make up their positions in time, otherwise they may have to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
Second, the reasons for the explosion of futures positions
1, heavy position operation
Futures trading usually adopts highly leveraged operation, which increases investors' chances of getting higher returns, but if it is operated in large quantities, it will also greatly increase the risk of short positions. Therefore, the position management of futures trading is very important, and light warehouse operation can effectively share risks.
2. Failure to stop loss in time
When the loss reaches the stop loss point, it is necessary to quit decisively. The consequence of not stopping the loss in time is usually a loss.
What is the meaning of short futures positions above? I hope it will help you. Warm reminder, financial management is risky and investment needs to be cautious.
