For many people who play futures, futures can be described as something that people love and fear. If the direction is firmly grasped, it is very likely that you will become rich overnight, but if you are a little careless, it is easy to liquidate your positions overnight. What is the charm of futures? How to play with futures?
From April 26th to May 30th, the first Global Futures Simulation Competition held by Futu started registration. Before the start of the competition, we specially invited a group of cattle friends to tell their stories and experiences in investing in futures, and take you into the door of futures together.
The protagonist of this futures story is Niuyou@Tutu who wants to make money
Her name is Connie Kong
Hangzhou native, born in 1985, marketing director of a financial company. When
first started playing futures,
almost doubled its profit within a year, and then
lost hundreds of thousands overnight.
As a novice player in futures, how does
make her comeback?
Relying on futures to earn the first pot of gold
2019 is the "blowout year" of the futures market, and many people double their worth by speculating in futures. At that time, she was itching to play enough stocks and decided to try venture capital. So, she chose a Chinese-funded securities firm with safe qualifications to open her first overseas investment account and started playing futures.
is not like the traditional Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, she prefers to take risks, and in the financial market, she likes "high risk, high return".
So when she first started to play futures, she directly invested 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in it. She bought all the futures varieties, such as copper, crude oil, IME metals, soybeans, natural gas, live pigs and live cattle, etc. She had all the unpopular and popular varieties. played.
Fortunately, the futures market was just right that year. With the momentum of a new-born calf who was not afraid of tigers, she bought and sold short-term operations many times. In less than a year, her capital nearly doubled.

Money cannot be put in one basket
But the good times don't last long. On March 6, 2020, international crude oil suddenly plummeted. She, who had already escaped, saw that the price of crude oil was so low, so she went in again. Unexpectedly, in the next few days, international crude oil prices plummeted all the way. On March 9, the main contract of NYMEX crude oil futures plummeted by more than 20% in a single day, a rare drop in history. At that time, she rushed in and was trapped inside and couldn't move at all.

In those days, her account has been losing money, from more than 400,000 to less than 50,000. In the worst case, I lost 300,000 to 40,000 US dollars in one night, about 200,000 to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. This was the first time
encountered such a situation. She was completely stunned and began to reflect on her actions. She realized that money cannot be put in one basket, and a balanced distribution of various investment varieties is required to reduce risks.
Before, she was more daring and put all her funds on futures. Once the breed collapsed, she would face huge losses. So, she redistributed her funds. In addition to buying futures, she also contacted Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, and Hong Kong stocks.
Just in that year, the Hong Kong stock market was very hot. She was still a novice and earned more than 100,000 yuan from the new year, and the cumulative return on the new year was 150.27%.
used the newly earned money to return to the futures market.This time, she chose relatively stable varieties, such as A50 and Hang Seng Index. These futures have higher returns than stocks, but they are not as risky as crude oil and gold. Investors with little operating experience.
By adjusting her capital strategy and selecting suitable varieties, she slowly recovered from that loss, and the numbers in her account continued to rise. Compared to the initial capital, the returns on stocks and futures have doubled.
Connie's return on Futu Niuniu in the past two years
doubled from capital to a loss of tens of thousands, and then turned around against the wind. It took her two years to explore the futures varieties suitable for her, and formed a set of her own. trading system. For her, this is the biggest gain. Now, she is playing well in stocks and futures, and she is more calm and calm in the face of market fluctuations.
Doing transactions requires interaction to inspire inspiration.
Unlike Hong Kong stocks and US stocks, playing futures often requires relatively rich investment experience. She believes that she is not a professional trader, and she usually has to work, so the frequency of transactions is not high, more A lot of time is spent learning knowledge and gaining experience.
Futu Niuniu became her favorite learning platform. "Whether it's a mobile phone or a computer, it's very easy to use. When I arrive at the company every morning, I will definitely open Futu Niu before 9:30." comminicate. After suffering the previous loss, she will also watch some investment education videos in Niu Niu's classroom to learn some trading knowledge.
Niuniuquan futures learning and communication platform
But her favorite is to chat and interact with people on Niuniuquan. "Whether it is learning or trading, it is necessary to interact with people. Only when there is interaction, can there be inspiration." Sometimes when she encounters some unsure investment ideas, she will go to Niuniuquan to look it up, and she will chat about those who agree with her own ideas.
She feels that Niuniuquan provides an open platform for users. Exchange of opinions. "In Niuniuquan, whether it is a big V, an official account, an investment research institution, or the media, there are not many boundaries with us, and both parties will chat and interact. This is very rare on other platforms. "
In life, like other girls, she likes to collect peripherals. The difference is that as someone who has been in the Niu Niu pen for a long time, Niu Niu's peripherals are her first favorite. In order to change the peripherals, she even goes to Niu Niu every day. Doing tasks and earning points in the Points Mall of Connie. On her desk, there are still two cows that she exchanged for points.

Now she is working and speculating in stocks in her spare time. She will also learn new knowledge, and she has also met a group of like-minded friends on Niuniuquan, and often communicates with big names in chat rooms and WeChat groups. For her, investing in stocks and playing futures is not just for making money, It is another way for her to enjoy life.
Niuyou Q&A

It comes from multiple transactions.Limited by funds and time, I may not do too much in the real market, but I can cultivate the "discussion" of a variety by simulating the market, and grasp its logic and trend, so that I can put it into practice. On-disk operations may be smoother.
