#衍生品交易市场 Seeing the news about Architect Financial's funding round, I started thinking about a question—why does the derivatives market always tend to attract a large influx of capital?

Honestly, tools like futures and options are not inherently problematic; their essence is risk management tools. But the issue is that many people treat them as a "fast track to get rich quick." I've interacted with many investors who are captivated by the leverage effect of derivatives, forgetting a fundamental principle—leverage is a double-edged sword.

Over the years, I've seen too many cases where a single incorrect derivatives operation wiped out years of accumulated wealth overnight. The most regrettable thing is never market volatility itself, but the risks that could have been avoided.

Rather than chasing after these emerging platforms and trading tools, I want to remind everyone: before participating in any derivatives trading, ask yourself three questions—do I really understand this product? Can I withstand the worst-case scenario? What percentage of my assets does this represent?

Good investing has always been about making choices based on clear self-awareness. Reasonable position sizing, controllable risks, and long-term persistence—that's the way to stand the test of time.
