Market risk means that the biggest risk for customers in futures trading comes from the fluctuation of market price. This price fluctuation brings the risk of trading profit and loss to customers. Because of leverage, this risk is magnified. Investors should always pay attention to their futures accounts.

02 emphasize flat risk

(1) Investors need to pay margin for futures trading. As the financial guarantee for the performance of futures contracts, investors should always pay attention to the account situation. If the rights and interests in the investor's account are insufficient to cover the margin, it is necessary to make up the funds within the specified time or close the position by itself, otherwise the future positions will be forced to close the position by the futures company.

(2) Because the position limit of each futures contract is different in each time period, investors need to adjust their positions in futures contracts in time to avoid being forced to close their positions by futures companies or exchanges.

03 delivery risk

Futures contracts are time-limited. When the contract expires, all open contracts must be delivered in kind. Therefore, customers who are not prepared to make delivery should close their positions in time before the expiration of the contract, so as not to bear the liability for delivery breach and avoid unnecessary losses.

04 operational risk

In futures investment, the risk caused by human error or computer system failure is called operational risk. Futures trading involves many trading parameters. When placing an order, investors need to check the price, quantity, contract, open position and trading direction of the order to avoid unnecessary losses caused by operational errors.

05 Liquidity risk

Due to the poor liquidity of the futures contract market, it is difficult to do fast, timely and convenient transactions in futures trading. This kind of risk is particularly prominent when investors close their positions, especially when futures prices show a continuous unilateral trend, or when delivery approaches and market liquidity decreases. Therefore, investors need to pay attention to the trading activity of futures contracts in time to avoid entering the unilateral market dominated by one side and causing unnecessary losses.

The risks and benefits of futures trading go hand in hand. Therefore, investors must always keep a clear understanding of risks when conducting futures trading. Under the premise of effectively controlling investment risks, futures trading can achieve investment objectives.
