Operating silver futures is very simple. First, traders need to open a futures account with a futures company. After opening a futures account, they can operate silver futures normally. Silver futures are listed on the listed futures exchange with the trading code ag, which belongs to ordinary commodity futures. Futures accounts have no capital threshold requirements and are free. Investors only need to meet the margin of the first-hand variety to trade.

Silver can be called Shanghai Bank. Investors trading Shanghai bank futures will only generate handling fees and deposits. Here is a brief explanation of the calculation formula of the handling fee and margin of Shanghai Bank Futures. Take a look:

The handling fee of Shanghai bank futures is calculated according to the proportional value, and the contract price * trading unit * handling fee ratio.

According to the rules of the futures exchange, the opening fee is charged at 1, and the fee that investors need to pay for opening the first-hand silver futures is: 439 1 * 1 = 3.3 yuan, and the silver futures fee is charged bilaterally, and the closing fee is also required, so the fee for investors to trade the first-hand silver futures on the same day is 3.

The calculation method of Shanghai Bank's futures margin is as follows: contract price * trading unit * margin ratio.

Assuming that the current silver futures contract price is 439 1 yuan per kilogram, and the trading unit is each lot 15 kg, and the margin ratio is charged at 12% according to the rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange, then the capital required for investors to buy a lot of silver by adopting the above formula is 4391*15 *.
