Different trading varieties have different limits. The position limit of individual customers and corporate customers is an absolute value. For example, a contract in which individual customers unilaterally hold 65,438+0,000 lots and corporate customers unilaterally hold 3,000 lots in a single month is the absolute limit.
The restriction of the exchange on futures companies (self-operated members) is a relative quantity. For example, an exchange stipulates that the futures company's position in a month's contract shall not exceed 15% of the total position in that month's contract, which is a relative limit.
In addition, the position limit is a restriction on the net position. For example, a contract has an individual position limit of 65,438+0,000 lots. If a customer holds more than 65,438+0,500 lots and 800 empty lots, the net position is 700 lots, which does not exceed the position limit.
However, it is necessary to apply for a hedging index to protect the position, the position is not limited, and the margin ratio is also favorable, but it is necessary to submit relevant documents such as purchase and sale contracts.
