As we all know, it is difficult for the crude oil futures market to trade quickly, timely and conveniently, and this process will produce greater risks, especially in the process of investors opening and closing positions. For example, it is difficult for investors to enter the market in an ideal position when opening positions, and it is difficult to operate as expected. When closing positions, it is difficult for hedging to close positions. If the crude oil futures price shows a unilateral trend, or is close to delivery, the market liquidity will be reduced, and investors will lose money if they cannot close their positions in time.

Second, the risk of forced liquidation.

Crude oil futures trading shall be settled by futures exchanges and futures brokerage companies on a daily basis. During the settlement period, the profit and loss of investors shall be accounted. If the futures price fluctuates greatly and the margin cannot be replenished in time, investors will face the risk of forced liquidation.

Third, the risk of short positions.

If there is an extreme situation in the current market, or the assets in the account will all lose money, or even the losses paid by the futures company will exceed the margin, at that time, the investor's daily settlement status will be liabilities. If the investor's margin cannot be replenished to the minimum within the specified time, he will face the risk of short positions, and all the losses caused by short positions will be borne by the customer.

Finally, the broker entrusts risk.

There are many informal enterprises in the market, and the supervision is lax or not at all, which harms the interests of investors themselves.
