Why do you have to pay a deposit when the futures value falls?
Futures trading adopts the margin system. The futures margin trading system has a certain leverage. Investors do not need to pay the full amount of the contract value, but only need to pay a certain percentage of the deposit to trade. The leverage effect of the margin system not only magnifies the income, but also magnifies the risk. When investors are at a loss and the account funds are insufficient to pay the contract deposit, additional deposit is needed.
