The first is the producers or buyers of some commodities. For example, farmers who produce a large number of crops need to lock the price of their crops after harvest through futures to avoid the risk of unexpected price drop; At the same time, it also gave up the extra income that may be brought by unexpected price increases. On the other hand, airlines also need to lock in the procurement cost of fuel to be consumed in the future through the futures market, so as to avoid the extra cost caused by unexpected fuel increase. This is the most basic function of futures: hedging. The premise of hedging is that you need to hedge and you need to have the professional skills to hedge correctly.
The other is some giant crocodiles that can make a blockbuster in the commodity market. They have foresight and can predict the future trend of the market in advance; Or they have financial strength that ordinary investors can't match and can have sex in the market. This ability and strength is their way to survive in the futures market.
The third is a full-time trader, hoping to survive after paying a huge price through tempering. They have no need for hedging, nor are they predators who can play with the market in applause. Instead, they hope that they can experience years of tempering in the market, and after experiencing failures and losses again and again, they will finally practice their extraordinary trading ability and make money in the market. However, as long as they are in this market, it means that they keep passing on large losses, and even if they are not careful, they will be devastated. On this road, how many people succeed, there are several times or even dozens of times people fail. Obviously, this road is not suitable for ordinary people. If you have your own career and life, why put your property into it to torture yourself for the possibility of becoming an immortal?
