The futures market is risky, but the risk is controllable. Just to realize this, it takes a process and needs to be honed through practice. The inherent reason of futures risk is the nature of margin trading, and the margin ratio of futures is generally 8%. The external causes of risk are market manipulation and spot price fluctuation, mainly market manipulation. With regard to market manipulation, due to the strengthening of legislative norms and supervision, there are few cases of vicious market manipulation at present. As long as you stop the loss in time, you will generally have the opportunity to control the loss, which is one of the fundamental differences between the current futures market and the past futures market. To control risks, I personally think it is necessary to start from two angles: fund management and stop loss. Many people like Man Cang trading, which actually violates the basic principles of risk control.

. The risk in the futures market today may be much lower than in the past, but there are still great risks. We can describe it this way: the risk in the futures market is four times that in the stock market. The stock market is considered to be relatively safe, because no matter how the stock price falls, the stock will not be negative, and the improvement of the market can be solved. Then, only 20%-25% of the funds are used for futures (of course, you can add positions after making profits), and the risk is limited, which is similar to that of stocks. This is money management.

This kind of thing often happens, making small profits and making big losses, because the stop loss is not firm. Maybe many investors have the same experience. When the market was right, they made a little money and ran away. The market reversed, but it was hard, and it still kept making up the position. In the end, the loss became bigger and bigger, until it was forced to close the position due to insufficient margin and lost the opportunity to start again. The reason may be that people dare not face reality. It is human nature to accept happiness instead of pain, and cutting meat is always painful. But in fact, pain and happiness are one after another in the futures market, and the achievements made by accepting 10 happiness may be wiped out because of not accepting 1 0 pain. Furthermore, the success of a great social man may lie in his happy acceptance of pain. Generally speaking, doing a good job in fund management and stop loss is the fundamental way to ensure the appreciation and preservation of assets, and it is also the only way to effectively control risks.
