Recalling the opportunity on the 12th, if I had opened a position in platinum at 2606 one lot at that time, based on the current market trend, I could have safely earned 200,000. Back then, the margin for one lot was only a little over 30,000 yuan, making it relatively low-cost. But look at the current market, the margin for the same one-lot contract has skyrocketed to 74,000 yuan, more than doubling the trading cost. This also indirectly reflects the changes in risk management for futures leveraged products after increased market volatility—margin requirements have risen significantly, which not only raises the participation threshold but also indicates that the market pricing mechanism is being readjusted. Missing this wave is also a lesson.

Oh no, it's another "I should have known..." story. This time, it really hurts.

Oh no, it's another frustrating market where everything just slips away. Watching 200,000 disappear like that. This round of leverage costs doubling is truly outrageous. Is the exchange trying to discourage retail investors in a roundabout way? Margin from 30,000 skyrocketed to 74,000. Without solid backing, you really can't play. The market is definitely screening people out.

It's the same regretful story again. I saw the wave on the 12th, and at that time I thought platinum had a chance, but I still didn't dare to jump in. The margin skyrocketed from 30,000 to 74,000, doubling the trading costs. It's really outrageous. The threshold for retail investors is getting higher and higher. Missing out on 200,000 like that is a bit painful... Next time I need to be more decisive. --- Honestly, this wave of market movement was really fierce. With the margin mechanism adjusted like this, risk control was strengthened, but it also made it harder for us retail investors to get cut. Let's wait for the calm to return before doing more research. For now, let's look at other opportunities. --- The platinum wave was definitely a lesson. The market changes so quickly that if you react slowly, you can only watch others make money. --- Doubling the margin shows what? It means the big players need to raise costs before they can harvest retail investors. A typical tactic. --- 200,000... I don't want to think about it anymore. Time to adjust my mindset and keep working.
