在交易期货或股票时如果稍加用心,就会接触到一些神秘的术语。刚进入交易领域不久的交易者们想要融入这个高深的领域则是困难重重,他们会发现有很多难懂的词语,从字面上完全无法理解。每个交易者在开始交易时都要努力学习交易界的各种术语。以下是一些广泛使用的交易术语及其释义。
“死猫”式反弹
该谚语指的是市场多次试图触底反弹,但大多数情况下幅度很小,或是长期上涨疲软,在未来的一段时间内看不到上行的驱动力。
趋势是你的朋友
话虽简单,意义却很重要。如果你顺着市场趋势下单,你的成功几率会高于逆势而行。大多数成功的交易员都会采用一些趋势追踪交易策略。
流言起则买,事实出则卖
这个现象经常出现,市场会随着人们对某一事件的预测而移动,当该事件真正发生时,市场价格便会反转。举例来讲,如果谷物交易者认为美国农业部会发布利好报告,市场价格会在最初几天上涨,而当农业部数据正式发布后,价格反而会下跌。
赚牛、赚熊、屠猪
换句话说,不要太贪。不要妄想在快速波动的市场中打捞一笔。人类情感中毁灭性最大的两种情绪就是“恐惧”和“贪婪”。
斩仓要及时
这个交易信条比“趋势是你的朋友”还重要。交易者会遭遇无数次亏损,所以必须要严格限制亏损,做好资金管理,设置好买卖止损。
避免追加保证金
换句话说,交易者一定要避免陷入太深而不得不追加保证金。记住“斩仓要及时”。
空头回补
这种情况通常发生在空单退出时,退出可能是因为已经盈利,或是因为仓位陷得太深。空头回补大多出现在市场持续下跌之后,没有太多上行动力之时。
多头回吐
这种情况通常发生在多单盈利时,或是疲软的多单退出市场时。多头回补通常发生在市场持续上涨之后,出现回落之时,因为市场是脆弱的,下行的修正是可以预期的。
市场修正
当市场的单一趋势维持了较长时间,一个短期的反转则称为修正,因为趋势很有可能恢复。
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.
