When you say commodity futures, you may mean electronic disk. The difference between electronic disk and futures:
Give two differences:
Thirdly, in terms of legal supervision, electronic disk mainly relies on some self-defined regulations, so it is inevitable that there will be regulatory loopholes or the system implementation is not in place, which will bring losses to enterprises. In the futures market, there are layers of supervision such as the State Council, China Securities Regulatory Commission and Exchange, and the system construction is relatively perfect, so enterprises do not have to worry about default and other issues.
Fourth, of course, the more important difference between electronic disk and futures market is reflected in the system. Futures trading system mainly includes trading settlement system, risk control system and delivery system. The risk control system specifically includes margin system, price limit system and position limit system. Futures and electronic disk are similar in settlement system, both adopt daily settlement system, and settle the profit and loss of customer accounts after daily trading, but they are very different in risk control and delivery.
Therefore, when making electronic disks, we should choose companies with good reputation recognized by the market. In the domestic futures market, only legal person households (that is, companies) can make delivery. Not for individual investors.
