Risk Management
Traders should be aware that there may be significant differences between the fair price at market open and the previous day’s closing price. It is advisable to assess associated risks thoroughly if positions are held overnight. Moreover, stock perpetual futures indices may experience high volatility, and trading with high leverage could escalate risk exposure significantly.
Best Practices
To manage risks effectively:
- Assess your positions ahead of the adjusted trading hours.
- Be proactive in your trading strategies to adapt to market changes.
- Keep abreast of public holidays that might affect trading availability.
