Can contract trading really make money?
Contracts can indeed make money, but you have to make sure that your luck is good enough.
This is a game of life and death. There must be a few people who survived and became "gods". The key is that there seem to be many of these "gods".
Because the silent majority of people lose money, many people think that it is easy to make money with contracts.
Your description shows that you have not realized the essence of investment. Investment is essentially a game of concentrating the front of retail investors to do big things. Retail investors can only be contributors, not profiteers.
But it also leaves a small window for retail investors to see the scenery outside.
The real door can only serve the dealer forever. Whether it is a contract or a traditional futures, it is actually a wrong entry. Retail investors cannot beat the dealer.
Because you are playing a game of rock-paper-scissors, you are always the first one to go out. No matter what you go out, the dealer can eat you up.
Some people do make money, but they are all fish that slip through the net. As long as you continue to stay in this market, you will be harvested sooner or later.
But contracts can indeed make people rich in a short period of time. Because of this opportunity, many people are very enthusiastic about contracts, but I advise everyone to play and make fun of others.
Just play with a small amount of funds. If you can guess the rhythm of the dealer, you can still make money.
After all, when the dealer is harvesting, he can only harvest in one direction at a time. As long as you stand in the opposite direction, you will not be harvested.
