The most commonly used electronic transactions are online transactions and popular self-service entrustment transactions. Compared with written instructions, electronic trading has the advantages of fast trading speed, quick return and high accuracy, because it directly sends trading instructions to the exchange host, eliminating the intermediate link that must be manually transmitted.

These advantages are very important for traders. It is an indispensable condition for those traders who are mainly engaged in short-term trading.

The two things that traders who use online transactions should pay attention to most are: security and confidentiality and emergency plan.

Security and confidentiality are extremely important. When trading online, you must enter your account number and password. Once your account number and password are known by malicious people and illegally entered, it is likely to bring you huge losses.

There was once a case where a criminal posted on a futures forum to induce others to download and install his own program "Futures Wizard", thus stealing several people's trading accounts and passwords, and then using these accounts and passwords to make profits for himself by knocking at the door, causing others to lose 3 1.7 million yuan.

This reminds us not to download software that doesn't know the truth easily, so as not to give computer hackers an opportunity. Another way is to change the password frequently to ensure that it will not be known by others.

Emergency plan refers to the response method that the transaction cannot be carried out due to the temporary failure of computer, telephone or network connection. You should remember the emergency hotline provided by the futures brokerage company. In case of the above situation, you can inquire about the market or issue trading instructions through this phone.
