1. The risk of speculating in futures is mainly related to the margin system of futures. Futures only need a certain proportion of funds to buy and sell goods with greater value. The leverage of futures is equivalent to amplifying funds several times, which plays the role of small and broad. Of course, if this function is used well, it can improve the rate of return on funds, but if it is not used well, it will cause greater losses.

2. The risk is also related to the margin ratio received by the futures company. For example, futures companies set the margin ratio as 10%. It is equivalent to enlarging the capital by 10 times, which may be beyond the affordability of some novice investors. At this time, investors can increase the margin ratio and reduce the magnification of their own funds, which will relatively reduce the risk.

3. The risk of speculating futures is related to the size of opportunities. The characteristics of futures itself also determine many opportunities. Some of these opportunities are risky, others are less risky, but they have greater potential benefits. Futures is only a tool for investors to invest, and the risk is based on personal choice. Investors can choose low risk or high risk.
