It is generally believed that futures are risky and stocks are risky. In fact, if futures do not excessively open positions, but open positions according to their actual amount of funds (how much money you have, you will make contracts of how much value), the risk of futures is much smaller than that of stocks.

The following are some comparisons (not comprehensive):

1. Futures are T+0 transactions, and can be traded several times a day. After opening the position, if something goes wrong, you can close the position immediately. The trading time of stocks is T= 1. If you make a mistake, you can only wait for the next trading day.

2. The handling fee of futures trading is lower than that of stock trading, which is about one tenth of that of stock trading.

3. The futures stop loss is about 4%, and the stock 10%.

4. Futures go in the wrong direction, and three consecutive closed exchanges can arrange liquidation (about 15% compensation), and stocks cannot be sold for more than a dozen consecutive daily limit.

5. Generally, the value of the subject matter of futures will not become zero, and the stock will be delisted.

6. Futures is a margin transaction, which only needs 10% of the contract value to save money (interest). Shares need to be paid in full.

7. Futures don't have to pay taxes, and stocks need to pay stamp duty and dividend income tax.

8. Futures contracts are infinite, and it is not easy for a banker to control the market. The number of stocks is limited and it is easy to be manipulated by the dealer.

9. Futures are generally commodities, and the fundamentals are relatively transparent. The fundamentals of stocks are relatively unclear and easy to be fooled.
