秋意渐浓,梧桐叶落,又是一年国庆假期到来。城市渐渐安静下来,写字楼的灯一盏盏熄灭,人们收拾 行囊,奔赴山海。而期货交易者,这群在数字洪流中搏击的旅人,却在节日前夕,多了一份静默的守 候。 交易所的假期安排早已贴出:10月1日(星期三)至10月8日(星期三)休市,10月9日(星期四)起照 常开市。9月30日(星期二)晚上不进行夜盘交易。10月9日(星期四)所有合约集合竞价时间为上午 8:55至9:00。可以想见,9月30日下午,随着分时线的止步,屏幕归于平静。有人长舒一口气,摘下耳 机,望着K线图嘴角微扬;有人默默关闭交易软件,泡上一杯浓茶,任茶烟袅袅,思绪却仍停留在那根 均线上。 假期,对期货交易者而言,从不是简单的"休息"二字可以概括的。它更像是一次周期性的撤离与回归, 一次在喧嚣与寂静之间的转换。节前的最后几个交易日,市场波动往往加大。交易所的保证金可能上 调,风险提示函也可能发布,仿佛在提醒大家:操作要更谨慎。 于是,有些期货交易者选择在假期前平仓。这不仅是为了规避长假期间国际市场的不确定性,更是对内 心秩序的一次整理。当账户归于平静,心也随之沉淀。有人终于能陪孩子去一趟动物园,看长颈鹿慢吞 吞地咀嚼树 ...
