Futures investment needs leverage and is not suitable for long-term investment. Generally speaking, futures investment is in the form of margin, and some even add 2~3 times leverage. If there is a big drop and there is no stop loss in time, it will lead to the loss of margin, and then directly explode the position and be forced to close the position. Futures is a commodity. Unlike stocks, it has no leverage. Even if it loses money, it can't lose all or all. But futures will lose this margin, and it will really lose everything.
Because stocks have surplus value more or less, but there is no surplus value in futures. If there is no margin, there is nothing. Futures can be short or long, and there is no limit to the price. Naturally, there are also many risks. Holding it for a long time is tantamount to throwing money into the sea.
Ordinary investors actually don't recommend doing this futures. Because the risk of futures is far greater than that of stocks, few people succeed, and some investors will gamble with institutions. In this case, investors are likely to lose everything, and it is often a narrow escape in futures investment. Ordinary investors had better not participate. Finally, futures investment is T+0 trading, which can be traded countless times on the same day, and it is easy to get addicted and stay away from futures.
