when the system loss is generated, it is shared equally by the profit-making customers after the settlement. Especially when the big market occurs, the sharp drop or sharp rise of the price will cause the customers to burst their positions in a large area, forming a huge system loss, and the loss will be shared equally by the profit-making customers. The mechanism of position margin + floating margin is adopted, A customer's position needs a fixed margin. When the floating margin reaches the warning line, the system will remind the customer to add margin. Otherwise, when the margin is not enough to hold so many positions, the system will forcibly level off the excess positions to control the risk of the customer. This mechanism strictly controls the leverage, and the leverage of futures can reach 10 times at most, The size of the position is determined by the customer's capital. Generally, a slightly larger fluctuation will not cause the customer to burst the position, so that the profit customers will not be allowed to share the system loss. Then the customer's profit capital can be fully recorded<
