On the basis of A50 index, there is FTSE A50 stock index futures.

The trading time of the last trading day is 9:151:30, and it is 13:00 15:00 in the afternoon.

In addition, the profit and loss leverage is also large, and the risk level is higher than that of domestic stock index futures. 4 Contract variety: FTSE Russell A50 refers to two consecutive months, plus four consecutive quarters of March, June, September and1mid-February, so there are six contracts trading at the same time, two more forward month contracts than the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index.
