oic, then why do ppl trade fkli in the first place? since if the index up/down 10 points, ROI only 12.5% with such a high risk in fkli. unless u r confident tht it will go higher maybe to 20 points?

QUOTE(CyanT @ Aug 22 2015, 12:04 PM) it's called short (hoping it to go down) and long (hoping it to go up) in futures. ok! stalking fkli thread simply said, if you open a short position, you will make profit when it goes down. once you have acquired a trading platform, you'll understand the trading. however if u want to understand the underlying principles and techniques, you gotta read more.   |

QUOTE(CyanT @ Aug 22 2015, 12:04 PM) it's called short (hoping it to go down) and long (hoping it to go up) in futures. hi sifu, i already got my account, logged in and it seems like its the same as equity trading platform.. nothing special tho..simply said, if you open a short position, you will make profit when it goes down. once you have acquired a trading platform, you'll understand the trading. however if u want to understand the underlying principles and techniques, you gotta read more. and i still don understand the meaning of "sell it first buy later", i know its for shorting but i don understand... from my understanding, if wan to short just open contract at current price then wait for the price to drop then close the contract right?  |

QUOTE(CyanT @ Aug 27 2015, 06:52 PM) Yup. Sell first and buy later is called short selling, usually used in equities, available in certain stocks only. You're not wrong here. oic, i think i gt what u mean, so basically the way to play futures trading is the same as equities trading, the only different is we lease money to ply futures then pay back money at the end of the day which is wad we call "sell first buy later" right? |

QUOTE(CyanT @ Aug 27 2015, 07:18 PM) Read up on "zero sum games". Basically futures is zero sum, but equities is not. icc, thanks for the explanation For equities, short selling means you borrow stocks from your broker to sell first (since you can't sell when you don't have any stocks), and when the prices went down, you buy the stocks back, and return to the broker. You gain on the margin. In futures, you are basically betting against other players. You gain 50 points in a short contract, someone's gonna lose 50 points in a long contract. You could also read up about the initial development of futures and how it helps hedging commodities. Then you'll understand more.   |
