The magic of trading in limit markets

摘要

Limit markets in futures can be frustrating; it's like running into a brick wall. A "limit-down" day can make it seemingly impossible to sell futures, and merchandisers are often unsure what to bid farmers. "Limit down" means the market has reached its lowest possible price for that session, although there may be active trade at that price. "Locked limit down" means prices have hit the lowest possible value for the day, and there are unfilled sell orders at that price. Trading stalls. This has led to calls for higher limits, or even no daily price limit. But there are ways to continue to buy or sell futures, if you know the ins and outs and how to make magic.
