Closed futures is a kind of futures trading method, which refers to the state that the contract cannot be delivered within the delivery period agreed in the futures contract. That is to say, when the delivery date comes, the contract holder fails to perform the contract and cannot complete the delivery, which will result in closed futures. In closed futures, the holder needs to pay a certain fine, not the actual goods or cash. This usually happens when the holder lacks goods or funds, or the market fluctuation and other factors lead to the inability to deliver the goods.

The impact of closing futures on the counterparty is different. For the holder, failure to deliver may lead to financial losses, increase costs and affect reputation. Some exchanges stipulate liquidated damages to encourage holders to actively perform their duties before the delivery date. For exchanges, closed futures also help to maintain market stability. By stipulating certain liquidated damages and contract limits, the exchange can reduce the liquidity and volatility of contracts, thus improving the predictability and stability of the market.

Futures liquidation is an important phenomenon in the futures market, and it is also a trading factor that must be seriously considered. Although closed futures will bring trouble to traders, it may bring more opportunities for traders to make rational use of this market feature and reduce its adverse effects.
