The gold futures market is a two-way trading mechanism, which can be bullish or bearish. Gold futures implement T+0 transactions, so investors can frequently enter and exit within a day, which is a hot spot for short-term operations. Short-term operations are very sophisticated, therefore, there are high requirements for the professional skills of investors. What are the intraday short-term operation skills of gold futures?
(1) Develop a clear investment plan. The amount of funds and the return are all to be determined by themselves. Set a goal based on your ability to take risks.
(2) To control positions and leverage, you must learn to strictly control positions according to your own product leverage combined with your own funds. The first is to be continuous, and the second is the handling fee: the handling fee generated by frequent transactions is a large number, so the lower the handling fee, the more money can be saved.
(3) Use technical indicators. There are countless technical indicators in the market, at least a thousand or more, each of which has its own emphasis. It is impossible for investors to cover everything. Commonly used technical indicators are KDJ, MACD, RSI and so on.
(4) Using the moving average
Short-term operations generally refer to the five-day, ten-day, and 20-day moving averages. The 5-day moving average crosses the 10-day and 20-day moving averages, and the ten-day moving average crosses the 20-day moving average, which is called the golden cross, which is the opportunity to buy; otherwise, it is called the dead cross, which is the time to sell.
(5) Using graphics
In short-term operations, in addition to attaching great importance to volume, you should also pay attention to changes in graphics. There are several graphics worthy of high attention: W bottom, head and shoulders bottom. Arc bottom, platform, ascending channel, etc. When the W bottom, head and shoulders bottom, and arc bottom break through the neckline, it should be a buying opportunity.
There are two points that must be highly paid attention to. First, a breakthrough must be made in order to achieve an effective breakthrough. A breakout without volume coordination is a false breakout and gold tends to quickly return to where it started. The second is that the reliability of breakthroughs at low prices is higher, and the high-volume breakthroughs are likely to be “bulls trapped” created by the bookmakers to lure retail investors to follow suit, so as to achieve the purpose of shipping.
(6) Utilize trading volume: The enlargement of trading volume means an increase in turnover rate, an increase in the average cost of holding a position, and a reduction in upward selling pressure.
(7) Grasp the entry point: To enter the market above the integer position, the closer to the bottom of the optimistic space, the better (when doing a long time); analyze the fluctuation space above and below, and find a relatively low position. It is necessary to ensure that the entry point is as far away as possible from the possible future consolidation range, and it is necessary to ensure that the technical profit space is greater than the loss space; first find a matching stop loss position for the entry position and then enter the market; during the consolidation, if there is a breakthrough, you can go with it Break through the direction of entry.
(8) Do short-term operations of the day: Be sure to avoid chasing up and down! Assuming that the day is bullish, and now it is a relatively low position, then enter more; if the current position is not ideal, then wait for a better position or wait for pending orders. Don’t wait for the market to rise and then blindly chase, it is easy to be caught by the callback.
(9) Grasp the closing point: set the take profit level, below the integer near the position (when long); when multi-fingered for medium and long-term operations. When you reach the expected target, you will close the position and exit; when you operate with multiple fingers, the expected target should not be too high or too low, and should be set at a reasonable position; when you reach the target and accelerate the impact resistance level, you can close the position; The minimum profit margin should also be above the entry price by $0.1.
(10) Set stop loss: The stop loss point setting must be considered when placing an order. The entry level and the stop loss level are closely related, and the stop loss space cannot be larger than the profit space. The stop loss should be set within the range that you can bear, and the risk should be strictly controlled. After setting the stop loss, you must strictly abide by the stop loss execution! Would rather stop loss than quilt.
(11) Fund management: Generally, short-term positions can be more appropriately compared to the trend market. Under the premise of clear variety status and position control, there are still a few points to pay special attention to: when opening a position, be patient and wait for the market to reach the editing position. It is not possible to add positions at will within a day, and in principle, short-term positions within a day cannot be held overnight.
