What is the risk of futures trading? What are the risks of investing in futures?
Stocks, funds and futures are the mainstream products in the financial market. From the risk point of view, the overall trading risk of futures is the highest. What are the risks of futures trading? The risk of the futures market comes from the uncertainty of the future. Because of the characteristics of futures trading, the risk factors are magnified, and investors face higher risks in futures trading than spot trading and other financial products trading. First, the risk of price fluctuations. Simply put, ordinary retail investors earn the price difference of trading futures, and only price fluctuations can generate profits and losses. This is the risk of price fluctuation. The price fluctuation of futures varieties is sometimes very violent, and the corresponding risks are also very high. Second, trading risk, which is also the biggest risk for ordinary investors, arises in the process of futures trading, including the risk that it is difficult to close positions quickly, timely and conveniently due to poor market liquidity, and the risk that investors may be forced to close positions when futures prices fluctuate greatly and the margin cannot be replenished within the specified time. The third is their own risk, because each investor's knowledge level, trading experience and operation level are different, and these will bring different degrees of risks, such as poor price forecasting ability and subjective and random speculation, which will lead to losses when the price trend is contrary to the judgment; For example, if you are used to the operation in Man Cang, once you encounter slight price fluctuation, you will lose most of your funds, or even overdraw or wear positions. Fourth, the entrusted risk comes from futures companies. Different futures companies have different scales, credit standing and operating conditions, which may bring risks such as inconvenient business. So it is very important to choose a reliable futures company. Fifth, delivery risk. After the contract expires, all open contracts must be delivered. Therefore, investors who are not prepared for delivery should close their positions in time before the futures contract expires or the delivery month comes, so as not to bear the delivery responsibility. In commodity futures, individual investors cannot participate in delivery, and must close their positions in time according to trading rules, otherwise they will be forced to close their positions.
