The futures market has the characteristics of high risk and high income because of the implementation of margin trading, and it pays more attention to investors' fund management ability. The margin for general futures positions cannot exceed 30% of the total funds.

For example, "At present, the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index is around 3,400 points. According to the multiplier of 300 yuan per point, the primary contract value is 1 ten thousand yuan. It is preliminarily estimated that the margin of CICC is 12%, and with the 3% margin charged by the futures company, at least150,000 is needed to buy and sell the primary contract. According to the 30% position standard, the total amount of futures funds of investors shall not be less than 450,000-500,000 yuan. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cope with the daily fluctuations of the market if the funds are too low. "

In addition, from the perspective of investors' risk tolerance, the funds used for venture capital shall not exceed 10% of total assets. For example, investors have 5 million funds, 10%, that is, 500,000, which is a more suitable proportion for investing in stock index futures.

According to different kinds of futures, the funds invested are also very different.
