For example, currently open 1 multi-hand. Whether it is a profit or a loss now, opening an empty order in the opposite direction is a lock. After locking the warehouse, the total amount of funds in the account remains unchanged, and the subsequent market has nothing to do with you until it is unlocked, that is, a reverse order is closed.
There are generally two kinds of lock positions: profit lock positions and loss lock positions. Profit-locked position refers to the profit generated by the previous position, and traders are not very sure about the market outlook, so they lock the previous profit by establishing the reverse position of the same contract. In this way, regardless of the market outlook, the profits and losses of the two positions can offset each other, and the previous profits will be saved. After that, if the market outlook is confirmed, the trader can choose to close one of the positions.
Loss lock is a trader who loses money but doesn't want to close his position. In order to lock in his loss and stop expanding, the trader sent an open position. In this way, the profit and loss of two-handed positions also offset each other, so as to achieve the goal that no matter how the market fluctuates, his losses will not continue to expand.
Traders can stabilize profits and losses by repeatedly locking positions, but there will be a certain handling fee as long as there is a transaction, and locking positions is no exception. There will be a handling fee for entering and locking positions, and there will also be a handling fee for closing positions in the market. Therefore, traders should try to avoid frequent lock positions. After all, there are a lot of handling fees caused by frequent operations, and this kind of transaction is actually just a stopgap measure, which can't really solve the problem. Therefore, if traders are uncertain about the market outlook, contracts that have generated profits can be closed in time, and contracts with large losses should also be closed in time. It is wise to close the position in time.
