Basic futures system

1, position limit system

The position limit system refers to the system that the futures exchange restricts the number of positions held by members and customers in order to prevent the manipulation of market prices and the excessive concentration of futures market risks on a few investors. If the amount exceeds the limit, the exchange may, as necessary, forcibly close the position or increase the margin ratio.

2. Large reporting system

The large-sum declaration system means that when the speculative position of a member or customer's position contract reaches more than 80% (inclusive) of the position limit stipulated by the exchange, the member or customer should declare his capital and position to the exchange, and the customer can declare it through the brokerage member.
