However, in order to recruit as many brokers as possible, some futures companies or their subordinate business departments often cheat people in the name of recruiting traders. In fact, these so-called "traders" have to pull customers themselves, or you need to take money to open an account for trading. Without customers and account opening transactions, there will be no basic salary and commission.
2. Because futures companies don't need traders, traders in futures companies are operated by others (customers), and customers entrust you to operate instead of futures companies, because futures laws and regulations stipulate that staff of futures companies can't operate on behalf of customers.
So it is definitely not illegal for you to be a trader in a futures company, because you have nothing to do with the futures company. If you want to make orders for others, you can't be a staff member of a futures company; If you work in a futures company, you can't make orders for customers.
To sum up, this situation is generally a trick to attract customers.
