Futures is a financial instrument, which means buying or selling a certain number of commodities at an agreed price at a certain time in the future, including metals, oil, grains and so on. The loss of futures trading refers to the difference between the opening price and the flat price of investors. The losses of investors are often caused by market fluctuations, market changes and other factors. Therefore, investors need to have market sensitivity and risk awareness, adjust trading strategies in time, and avoid sustained losses.

Opening a position is a trading method in futures trading, also known as shorting. Opening a position refers to the trading behavior that investors sell a commodity at a higher price in the futures market and buy the commodity at an agreed price at a certain time in the future in order to obtain the difference income. Compared with the trading method of buying and opening positions, holding positions needs to bear greater risks, and it is necessary to predict the downward trend of the market and sell it in time when the market falls in order to obtain greater returns.

In futures trading, if investors make mistakes in investment strategies by holding positions, it may lead to an increase in losses. When investors hold short positions, if there is a pullback or upward trend in the market, investors need to make trading adjustments in the changing market environment and close their positions in time to avoid greater losses. Therefore, in the process of trading positions, investors need to be vigilant, master risk control skills, accurately predict market trends and avoid losses.
