Informing is the basic service for investors and the legal obligation of futures companies. Timely and effective notification and confirmation between futures companies and investors is the basis and guarantee for the smooth progress of futures trading.

In futures trading, futures companies make debt-free settlement for investors on the same day. As long as investors have transactions, positions or deposits and withdrawals on the trading day, the futures company shall, after the settlement on the same day, issue a transaction settlement report to investors showing their account rights and interests and trading results in the way agreed in the contract. This is the obligation of the futures company. If the investor fails to trade, hold positions or deposit or withdraw funds on the same day, the futures company shall not issue a transaction settlement report to the investor with the consent of the investor.

In order to ensure that futures companies can fulfill their notification obligations and investors can keep abreast of the transactions in their accounts, in practice, futures brokerage contracts will stipulate that the inquiry system of China Futures Margin Monitoring Center will be the main notification method for futures companies to send trading settlement reports, margin notices and other documents to investors. After the daily settlement, the futures company shall timely send the investor account transaction settlement report, additional margin notice and other documents to the China Futures Margin Monitoring Center. Investors log on to the inquiry system of China Futures Margin Monitoring Center and receive the transaction settlement report, margin notice and other documents issued by futures companies.
