Let me give you a small example from life to help you understand. For example, if you go to a flower shop to buy flowers, buy them now and pay them now, which is a spot transaction; If it is agreed to pay and deliver on the birthday two months later, it is a forward transaction.

The futures contract mentioned above is actually a standardized forward contract.
