Introduction: The financial industry is developing continuously, expanding market demand. Most people will invest their idle capital assets in banks or buy fund stock products. In this industry, opportunities and risks coexist, especially futures trading. People who know futures and play futures can make a lot of money in the futures market, while those who don't know futures will lose everything. Let's take a look with Bian Xiao. Do both sides of futures trading need margin? Is the amount the same? Where did you put it?

I. Difference

In the futures market, people always have a lot of doubts and uncertainties about the changes in the market. At this time, with the demand of the big market, people need to pay a certain margin. In view of the possibility of default by both buyers and sellers in futures trading, the exchange clearly issued a document stipulating that both buyers and sellers need to pay a quantitative trading margin in futures trading to prevent the possibility of default risk by both buyers and sellers. Futures margin is generally the exchange margin plus the margin charged by the futures company.

Second, the amount.

The amount of futures margin is clearly stipulated by the exchange, which is the same in every exchange in the country. The difference is that the exchange will charge a deposit, some exchanges charge several times the deposit, and some companies charge several points. This ratio is generally around 5% of the market value. The buyer of the option pays the premium to get the right to buy and sell at a certain time in the future, while the seller needs to pay a deposit to ensure the performance of the obligations after the buyer exercises the right.

Third, the location

The deposit is deposited into the customer's deposit account. In the process of trading, customers must have an agent exchange to trade, and the transaction collects the deposit from their member exchanges, and the funds are prepared in advance in the special settlement account of the exchange, which is the deposit occupied by the contract. After the buyer and the seller clinch a deal, the exchange collects a trading deposit from both parties according to a certain proportion of the value of the position contract, and the deposit is the money paid by the customer to the exchange for the transaction.
