Opening a futures option account means that investors who meet the conditions for opening a futures option account bring all the account opening materials to a futures company to open a futures option account and a capital account. Like a futures account, the process of opening an account with an ID card and a bank card (Chinese, agricultural, industrial, construction and exchange) in a futures company is the same as that of an ordinary futures account. Futures option is the latest futures investment tool in China at present, and the trading volume of foreign futures options accounts for about 50% of the whole futures trading volume. It can be seen that futures options are important in the futures market.

Option, also known as option, is a derivative financial instrument. It refers to the right to buy and sell in a certain period of time in the future. It means that the buyer has the right to buy and sell a certain number of specific objects to the seller at a predetermined price (referring to the strike price) in a certain period of time (referring to American options) or a certain date (referring to European options) in the future, but has no obligation to buy and sell.
