在交易期貨或股票時如果稍加用心,就會接觸到一些神秘的術語。剛進入交易領域不久的交易者們想要融入這個高深的領域則是困難重重,他們會發現有很多難懂的詞語,從字面上完全無法理解。每個交易者在開始交易時都要努力學習交易界的各種術語。以下是一些廣泛使用的交易術語及其釋義。
“死貓”式反彈
該諺語指的是市場多次試圖觸底反彈,但大多數情況下幅度很小,或是長期上漲疲軟,在未來的一段時間内看不到上行的驅動力。
趨勢是你的朋友
話雖簡單,意義卻很重要。如果你順著市場趨勢下單,你的成功幾率會高於逆勢而行。大多數成功的交易員都會採用一些趨勢追蹤交易策略。
流言起則買,事實出則賣
這個現象經常出現,市場會隨著人們對某一事件的預測而移動,當該事件真正發生時,市場價格便會反轉。舉例來講,如果谷物交易者認為美國農業部會發佈利好報告,市場價格會在最初幾天上漲,而當農業部數據正式發佈後,價格反而會下跌。
賺牛、賺熊、屠豬
換句話說,不要太貪。不要妄想在快速波動的市場中打撈一筆。人類情感中毀滅性最大的兩種情緒就是“恐懼”和“貪婪”。
斬倉要及時
這個交易信條比“趨勢是你的朋友”還重要。交易者會遭遇無數次虧損,所以必須要嚴格限制虧損,做好資金管理,設置好買賣止損。
避免追加保證金
換句話說,交易者一定要避免陷入太深而不得不追加保證金。記住“斬倉要及時”。
空頭回補
這種情況通常發生在空單退出時,退出可能是因為已經盈利,或是因為倉位陷得太深。空頭回補大多出現在市場持續下跌之後,沒有太多上行動力之時。
多頭回吐
這種情況通常發生在多單盈利時,或是疲軟的多單退出市場時。多頭回補通常發生在市場持續上漲之後,出現回落之時,因為市場是脆弱的,下行的修正是可以預期的。
市場修正
當市場的單一趨勢維持了較長時間,一個短期的反轉則稱為修正,因為趨勢很有可能恢複。
Trading Lingo: Definitions for the Less-Experienced Trader
Trading futures and stocks involves the use of some of the more arcane terms found in any field of endeavor. Those less-experienced traders who are trying to break into an already-difficult business are many times even more frustrated by “phraseology” they do not understand and which seems to make no sense at all. Every single trader that has ever executed a trade had to start out as a rookie who also did not know the “lingo” of the trade. Below are some of the more widely used trading terms and their explanations.
“Dead-Cat Bounce.”
The general theme of this trading adage, which many feel has now become “politically incorrect,” is that many times a market will experience a modest rally (a bounce) from depressed price levels. But most of this price rise is due to short covering (see definition below) or weak long positions getting back into a market that very likely has little or no upside power on the horizon.
“The trend is your friend.”
This simple sentence is a very powerful one and is important for most traders. If you trade with the market’s trend, your odds for success are higher than if you trade against the trend. Most successful traders employ some type of trend-following trading strategy.
“Buy the rumor, sell the fact.”
This is a frequently occurring phenomenon whereby a market will make a corresponding price move in anticipation of an expected result of a fundamental event. And then when the event does actually occur and the result was as expected by traders, the market price will move in the opposite direction. For example, if grain traders expect a bullish USDA report, the market will rally in the days before the report’s release—but then actually sell off once the actual bullish USDA figures are released. Traders were “buying the rumor and selling the fact.”
“Bulls make money and bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered.”
In other words, don’t be a greedy trader. Don’t try to take too much profit out of a market too fast. The two biggest and potentially most damaging human emotions in trading are “fear” and “greed.”
“Cut your losses short.”
This trading maxim is even more important than, “The trend is your friend.” Traders must limit their losses on their more numerous losing trades by using strict money-management and by employing buy and sell stops.
“Never meet a margin call.”
In other words, traders should never let a trade become so much “under water” that a margin call from the broker is initiated. “Cut your losses short.”
“Short-covering.”
This is a phenomenon whereby traders who have established short positions decide to exit the market—either to take profits or because their trading positions have moved too far “under water.” Many times, short covering will occur after a market has been in a sustained downtrend without much upside movement recently.
“Long liquidation.”
This occurs when traders decide to “ring the cash register” and take profits from long positions—or in which weaker longs exit the market when it appears to be showing weakness. Long liquidation usually occurs when a market has been in a sustained uptrend and many bulls decide to bail out—knowing the market is vulnerable to a downside correction.
A market “correction.”
When a market has seen a sustained price trend, it will make a shorter move in the opposite direction. This is called a correction, as odds favor the eventual resumption of the trending move.
