Understand the risks of futures trading. One of the characteristics of futures trading is the use of margin trading, which is usually about 10% of the value of primary futures contracts. Compared with spot trading, investors need to invest less money in futures trading. Investors can operate futures worth several times in the market for investment transactions with less money. This provides convenience for investors who want to enter the futures market, but it also leads to greater risks in futures trading.

Futures trading mainly earns profits by buying and selling the difference, but futures can not only be long, but also short, that is, they can buy at a low price and sell at a high price for profit, or they can sell at a high price and buy at a low price for profit. The operation of futures is similar to that of stocks, except that futures have one more choice than stocks and can be short. The specific operations are divided into two situations: long and short. Long: judging that the subsequent market will rise, you can buy futures contracts at a low price, wait for the price to rise to the target price, sell and close the position, and make money in the middle; Short selling: judging that the subsequent market will fall, you can sell the futures contract at a high level first, and then buy and close the position at a low price after the price falls, and the profit is also the difference.
