They should know about leveraged forex trading.
Assuming gold is 1500/ oz and a 1 lot (100 oz) contract is worth about $150,000, you only need a margin of $1000 to trade a 1 lot of gold, with a leverage ratio of 1:150(i.e. 1000:150,000).
Leveraged trading is risky because margin (the small amount of money) does not rise or fall in proportion to the volatility of the underlying product.
For example, if you invest 5 yuan to buy the underlying asset of 100 yuan, if the asset increases by 5 yuan to 105 yuan, then your margin will become 5+5=10 yuan, that is, 5% increase will become 100% profit through leveraged trading, that is, 20 times leverage.
If your value goes up or down by $5 and you fall by $95, then your margin becomes 5-5=0, that is, a 5% decline becomes a 100% loss through leverage.
Risky leveraged trading is not for everyone.
But the attraction, beyond the leverage, is the temptation to go short.
