1. Establish risk control system and process: The spot crude oil investors' own factors, such as operational risk, internal control risk and financial risk, are often caused by imperfect personnel and system management. It is of great significance to establish a systematic risk control system and perfect management process to prevent man-made moral hazard and operational risk.
2. Choose the right price: Whether you are long or short, spot crude oil investors should try to enter the market near the long-term average comparable price, instead of chasing up and down. The choice of entry price and timing is very important.
3. Implementing investment discipline: It is more important to observe discipline in spot crude oil investment than anything else. Investment discipline is the ultimate foundation of risk prevention and the necessary premise of all investment behaviors. Investors who have just entered the market will often pay a heavy price if they do not strictly enforce the investment discipline after making their investment plans. In spot crude oil investment, the investment discipline needs to be clear, including: trading reasons, capital investment, stop loss and increase positions, market mutation and so on.
4. Diversification: Diversification means diversification to increase the success factor and reduce the investment risk. In the most commonly used investment motto, it is "Don't put your eggs in the same basket". Spot crude oil investment should also be diversified, such as investing in physical crude oil and crude oil jewelry. The risk in the market is unpredictable, even if the judgment is accurate, mistakes may occur, and risk diversification can reduce the risk to some extent.
5. Make an investment plan: Spot crude oil investors who are new to the market must have specific plans for their trading direction, expected profit level, acceptable maximum loss, investment strategy, contract month, total capital and investment ratio. Only by thinking and making an investment plan can we make an objective and comprehensive analysis of the complex factors affecting the crude oil market in advance, so as to manage our own funds, pursue the maximization of income and control our own risk level in the trading process. As a spot crude oil investor, keep in mind the above-mentioned risk avoidance skills of spot crude oil investment, know how to reduce and control risks, and make reasonable investments with a mature and steady investment mentality. There is no unprofitable investment, only unsuccessful operation. Whether it is profitable or not depends on the timing of investment, and minimizing risks is the key. Investment and financial management will not happen overnight. The loss in the previous period does not mean the loss in the later period. Early profit does not mean late profit. Therefore, it is better to operate steadily, balance the profit-loss ratio, maintain a good investment mentality, and remember a concept: first avoid risks, then keep the principal, and finally get benefits.
