In the choppy financial market, market fluctuations are like invisible waves, sometimes stroking, and sometimes the waves are sky-high, which affects the nerves of investors and the stable operation of the market. Whether it is stocks, bonds, foreign exchange or commodity markets, it is difficult to avoid the baptism of fluctuations. Therefore, in this war without smoke, small transactions have quietly emerged and become a potential force to alleviate market fluctuations, which deserves our in-depth exploration.

The essence of small transactions is to spread risks. One of the root causes of financial market volatility is the sudden entry and exit of large amounts of funds, which often leads to violent price shocks. Small transactions are like countless tiny drops of water. Although each one is limited in scale, it can form a stable water flow together. When many investors choose small transactions, the concentration of transactions is greatly reduced, avoiding the imbalance between supply and demand caused by large-scale influx or withdrawal of funds from an asset class. The effect of this dispersion is like setting up multiple diversion dams in a fast-flowing river, dispersing the original turbulent water flow into several stable streams, reducing the possibility of large market fluctuations.

Judging from the price discovery mechanism, small transactions provide more accurate and delicate price signals for the market. Large-value transactions often distort the market price, because the execution of large-value orders may require multiple counterparties, or have an instantaneous impact on the market price, resulting in abnormal price fluctuations. Small transactions, on the other hand, are more flexible and can fine-tune prices in time according to market supply and demand. Every small transaction is a small judgment of market participants on the value of assets. The accumulation of many small transactions is like countless stars gathering into a galaxy, drawing a price map closer to the real value of the market. This makes the market price fluctuate more smoothly under the touch-up of small transactions, which conforms to the inherent laws of the market.

Looking at market liquidity, small transactions are a key link to maintain market vitality. When the market volatility intensifies, large investors may withdraw from the market because of caution, and the market liquidity will drop sharply, further aggravating the volatility. However, small traders tend to have stronger anti-risk ability and more flexible investment strategies. Like brave sailors, they remain active in the fluctuating sea. Their participation has injected a steady stream of capital into the market, enabling buyers and sellers to match more smoothly and the transaction to continue. This liquidity is like lubricating oil, which reduces the friction of market transactions and reduces the risk of fluctuation caused by the lack of counterparties.

Small transactions can also play an important role in education and guidance. For novice investors, small transactions are a safe springboard for them to enter the financial market. In small transactions, they can be familiar with market rules, accumulate practical experience and feel the rhythm of market fluctuations, without fear or panic about the market due to huge losses. At the same time, the trading behaviors and strategies of small traders also influence and inspire each other. The exchange and learning between them, like the passing of knowledge from generation to generation, has gradually improved the overall trading level and risk awareness of market participants. This positive market atmosphere will help to strengthen the anti-risk foundation of the market and reduce the destructive power of the fluctuation before the potential fluctuation in storm warning.
