Just like a stock trader or a fund manager, that's a full-time stock trader, and your boyfriend is a full-time client or a futures trader himself. As for whether you can make money, it depends on your boyfriend's trading ability. The futures market is risky, but high risks are accompanied by high returns. If you are a mature trader with strong ability and experience, you can make money, and you can get commissions for your customers from the profits. If your ability is not enough, it's hard to say how much money you can earn. But if he has a large amount of operating funds and a high turnover, you can also withdraw a high commission. A small amount of money means no money. However, this job is really stressful and involves energy.
The so-called risk comes from the futures trading itself, not what risks his job has. Just like doing stocks, there is the possibility of making money and losing money. The possibility of losing money is risk. Futures trading uses margin trading, and the profit and loss that may be caused by a little fluctuation will be relatively large, so the risk is relatively large.
