Precautions:

Fully understand the trading system of trading varieties: the margin system, forced liquidation system, limited position system and daily debt-free settlement system in the futures market are different from those in the securities market. A full understanding of the trading system of the futures market is very helpful for understanding the sources of risks in the futures market and how to control them.
2. It is common for investors to speculate in stocks and become shareholders. The main reason is that the stock market risk is small, and it will not lose money if it falls again. There is no such luck in the futures market, but some investors feel that their positions are light, or they have some profits, so they can't strictly follow the instructions or simply don't think about stop loss. This is a big taboo for futures.
3. Pay attention to the comprehensive judgment of various technical analysis methods and avoid one-sided use of one technical analysis. The conclusions drawn by predecessors and others can only be used with confidence after being verified by practice.
