To some extent, the survival time of the futures market has nothing to do with the scale of funds, but has a great relationship with the leverage of funds. If a person's futures leverage is high, even if this person's funds are large, this person may explode at any time because of market problems. The futures market itself is very risky. I personally don't recommend retail investors to participate in the futures market.
First, small funds need to reduce leverage as much as possible.
For those funds with more than twice the leverage, no matter how much money a person has, this person is very likely to explode. The fluctuation of the futures market seems very small, but there will be very large fluctuations in extreme market conditions, which will directly lead to many people being short positions because of the drastic fluctuations in the market. Because the futures market is more uncertain, some people will regard the futures market as a place to make a fortune, but it may also make many people lose their blood.
Second, the survival time of the futures market is not necessarily related to the amount of funds.
If you want a person to survive in the futures market for a long time, the easiest way is to reduce leverage and then increase margin. When the margin balance of the account is very abundant, this person can resist the relatively extreme market, but this does not guarantee that a person is foolproof in the futures market.
3. What is my personal suggestion?
Personally, I don't recommend you to participate in the so-called speculative investment in the futures market, because the risk of the futures market itself is great. If you count the lever, many people may explode in just a few minutes. If a person's self-definition is small, he needs to control his own investment risks, and never have a so-called small and wide investment plot, because this idea is likely to make his small funds go to waste.
