I now want to switch from index trading, for trading stocks and futures.
Mindful of your indulgence towards beginners and perhaps a desire to help in the first steps, decided to ask you for help.
Perhaps some of the questions will be completely stupid., well, excuse me.. ))
1) Based on my practice, advise where is the most correct place to set the stop? Why?
(for me this is not a solvable task)
The stop will depend on the idea of your system. There are no generic methods.
2) Written by: Margin requirements (Initial 2970$/ Maintenance margin 2200$)
What's the difference between “initial” And “Supports” by margin? If I have 1000$, how many lots can I buy at their current price 0,9162 (австр.дол.).
I.e, originally, to buy one contract, you must have on your account 2970 Dollars. While holding a position, the account should not fall below 2200 Dollars. If you have only 1000 Dollars, you will not be able to buy any contracts.
3) In case of expiration of the contract, my position is closed at the current price? Is it worth keeping?
Yes, closes at the current price, if a broker не поддерживает поставку, and in this case, the date will be different — before the expiration of the contract.. You can switch to the next month's contract in advance or on the same day, that is, sell this one and buy the next.
4) Written by: Commission 6$ for the lot. Min.kom. 10$.
Does this mean what the 1 lot, whose current price 0,9162$ on the exchange, I cry 6$ Commission? This is how I will pay off???
Not, if min.kom 10 Dollars, you will pay at least 10 Dollars. It really isn't that much, since only one tick of the full AUD contract, if I'm not mistaken, 12,5 Dollars.
5) Not sure, Did you know, все акции скорелированны на NYSE? After last week's rise, I can't find any paper, what would fall, although at other times they walk mostly differently.
That's why you trade futures?
Not, most of my trade is stocks. Certainly, they are correlated, however, like all stock markets in the world.
