But this is also normal, nothing can be successful casually, and there are professionals in the futures market who have professional skills, spent a lot of time and energy in this market, and their professional skills are excellent.

If you want to make money in the futures market steadily and continuously, you can choose related occupations in the futures field, such as futures brokers and futures analysts, and study futures trading in your spare time.
Extended data:
Futures, whose English name is futures, is completely different from spot. Spot is actually a tradable commodity. Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds.
Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments.
The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.
A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract.
The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market.
Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
Transaction characteristics;
bidirectional
One of the biggest differences between futures trading and stock market is that futures can be traded in both directions, and futures can be long or short.
When the price rises, you can buy low and sell high, and when the price falls, you can sell high and buy low.
Going long can make money, and shorting can also make money, so there is no bear market in futures.
In a bear market, the stock market will be suppressed, while the futures market will remain unchanged and opportunities will still exist. )
low cost
Futures trading countries do not levy stamp duty and other taxes, and the only cost is the transaction fee.
The procedures of the three domestic exchanges are about two ten thousandths or three ten thousandths, plus the additional fees of brokers, and the unilateral handling fee is less than one thousandth of the transaction amount. Low cost is the guarantee of success.
lever action
Leverage principle is the charm of futures investment. Futures market transactions do not need to pay all the funds, and domestic futures transactions only need to pay 5% margin to obtain future trading rights.
Due to the use of margin, the original market has been enlarged ten times.
Assuming that the daily limit of copper price closes on a certain day (the daily limit in futures is only 3% of the settlement price of the previous trading day), the operation is correct. The return on capital is as high as 60%(3%÷5%), which is six times the daily limit of the stock market. (You can make money only if you have the opportunity)
Double the opportunity
Futures is a "T+0" transaction, which makes your capital use to the extreme. After grasping the trend, you can close your position at any time. (Convenient access can increase the security of investment)
Greater than negative market
Futures is a zero-sum market, and the futures market itself does not create profits. In a certain period of time, regardless of the transaction costs of capital entry and exit, the total amount of funds in the futures market remains unchanged, and the profits of market participants come from the losses of another trader.
The stock market has entered a bear market, the market price has shrunk dramatically, the dividends are meager, the state and enterprises absorb funds, and there is no short-selling mechanism.
The total amount of funds in the stock market will show negative growth for a period of time, and the total profit is less than the loss. (Zero is always greater than a negative number)
