In recent years, the option market has been expanding, and many new option assets have been listed on the exchange. Option is an asset with flexible trading system and great fluctuation. Many investors want to open an option account. So, should the option account be opened in the brokerage or futures?

Is the option account opened in brokerage or futures?

At present, domestic listed SSE 50ETF options and CSI 300ETF options can open accounts directly in securities firms, while CSI 300 stock index options and commodity options need to open accounts in the business department of futures companies.

There is a capital threshold for opening an account with options in China. The capital threshold for SSE 50ETF option, CSI 300ETF option and CSI 300 stock index option is 500,000 yuan, and the capital threshold for opening an account in commodity options is 65,438+10,000 yuan.

It can be seen that the threshold of opening an account for financial options is higher than that of commodity options, and opening an account for options also requires investors' professionalism and trading experience. Take the SSE 50ETF option and CSI 300ETF option as examples, and the conditions for opening an account are as follows:

1 The average daily margin in the 20 trading days before opening a securities account or futures account shall not be less than 500,000 yuan (excluding securities and funds integrated through margin financing and securities lending).

2. Having at least six months trading experience in financial futures or margin trading.

Have the basic knowledge of options and pass the relevant tests recognized by securities companies (three-level trading qualification examination).

4. Experience in simulated trading of options recognized by securities companies.

That's all about opening an account with options. I hope it helps you.
