What are the characteristics of financial futures trading?
1 In the form of tangible market, traders must obtain the membership of the futures exchange before entering the market.
The transaction object is a specific financial asset, and the delivery of the transaction object must be carried out through a special clearing institution.
The content of the transaction contract is standardized, and a strict margin system is implemented, so the transaction is safe and reliable.
The delivery time is a special date in the future, but the exchange must settle the book profit and loss every day and urge those with insufficient margin to make up the funds quickly.
Generally speaking, futures trading is conducted by buying and selling futures contracts. Futures trading must be conducted in the futures exchange, which implements the membership system, and only members can enter the market for trading. The margin system is implemented in futures trading, which means that traders need to pay a small amount of margin when conducting futures trading, which is generally 5%- 10% of the contract value.
