What's the difference between spot and futures?
The obvious difference between spot and futures is mainly the trading system.

Futures: 1. Contract standardization. Centralized market bidding, 3. Two-way transaction, 4. Hedge settlement, 5. There is no debt settlement on the same day, 6. Margin trading. The above are the basic characteristics of futures trading.

Now there are some so-called spot transactions, mainly to scratch the ball.

The purpose of spot trading is to obtain or transfer physical objects. The main purpose of futures trading is to avoid the risk of price fluctuation in the spot market, or to gain income by using price fluctuation in the futures market. The purpose of spot trading and futures trading is very different.

Spot is easy to be controlled, and the trading volume of futures contracts is large, which is relatively difficult to control. Wait a minute.
