How to calculate the amount of futures?
The formula for calculating the first-hand price of futures is: current contract value × lots × tons per lot × margin ratio.

1. 1 How much is the futures? It is related to two factors: variety and leverage.

1. Variety: Different futures varieties have different contract sizes. Even for the same variety, there are contracts of different sizes. For example, the first-class standard contract of American crude oil 1000 barrels, the first-class standard contract of American small crude oil (American mini crude oil) 100 barrels, and the front thread 10 tons. For the details of each variety, you can view the basic information of the variety, which is very detailed.

2. Lever: The lever of general products is generally about 10- 15 times, and some products may be as low as 5 times or as high as 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 times, etc. So be sure to make it clear before trading, and never operate blindly. The lever of each variety is different. The specific leverage can be found on the account opening website official website, or consult customer service. Some platforms can adjust the leverage, please consult your account opening platform customer service.

Second, how much is the primary futures and how to calculate it:

Suppose that the US crude oil futures price is 40 USD/barrel, the standard contract is 1 1,000 barrels, and the leverage is 10 times, then: 40 * 1 1,000//kloc-0 = 4,000 USD, that is, the first-hand US crude oil needs a deposit of 4,000 USD.

Assuming that the previous thread futures price is 3600 yuan/ton, the first-hand standard contract is 10 ton, and the leverage is 15 times, then: 3600* 10/ 15=2400 yuan, that is, the first-hand thread needs a deposit of 2400 yuan. I use the foreign exchange platform to trade American gold spot. If the quotation is 65,438+0,950 USD/oz, the standard contract is 65,438+000 oz, and the leverage is 500 times, then: 65,438+0,950 * 65,438+000/500 = 390 USD, I will buy 0.065,430 USD.

note:

1, the general futures platform is the smallest one, and the foreign exchange spot platform can buy at least 0.0 1 lot. Friends who are ashamed of cysts suggest that 100 dollars can build a complete small ecology from the spot. After all, it is necessary to pay tuition to learn to speculate in futures and spot.

2. Personally, if you can pay less tuition, you should pay less. Paying 100 at a time is much more cost-effective than paying tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands at a time.
