That is to say, (1) for customers who have opened futures accounts of Dashang Institute/Zhengshang Institute in futures companies, they can open options trading authority for formal trading if they meet the following conditions for opening an account; (2) Customers who have not opened a futures account of Dashang Institute/Zhengshang Institute in a futures company need to open a futures account first and meet the following conditions for opening an option account before they can open an option trading authority for trading. So the option account is based on futures account.
