2. Securities companies do not have the qualification of futures brokerage and cannot act as agents for futures trading. Even if share price index futures is to be traded in the future, the securities company has no agency.
3. Some securities companies cooperate with futures companies to receive futures quotations from securities companies for customers to enjoy. In other words, customers of securities companies can make futures through the runway (single aisle) of futures companies, and the handling fee is shared by futures companies and securities companies.
4. If a customer wants to do futures, he must open an account with a futures company, go through various formalities (signing agency agreement, risk disclosure and other documents), and deposit funds before trading. There is no handling fee for futures accounts (this is different from securities), and the minimum capital is usually around 20 thousand yuan (online trading). If you want to trade in the business hall of a futures company, you usually need at least 50 thousand yuan, and everyone has a computer, unlike the retail investors of securities companies who don't have separate computers.
The advantage of trading in futures companies is that the information is timely and you can get immediate trading guidance.
