At present, citizens who invest in futures are free to open accounts, and they need to bring their ID cards to the business department of the local futures company to handle the account opening procedures. Citizens can bring their bank cards (limited to China, agriculture, industry, construction and exchange) to handle the third-party custody of funds, and they can open an account on the spot without a bank card. The signature involved in the futures account contract must be my own signature, and cannot be signed on my behalf, because it is necessary to collect video digital data and sign the risk warning agreement, account opening information registration form, futures brokerage contract and all attachments.

At present, there are basically no restrictions on the amount of funds opened by futures companies. It is enough to fry soybean and corn agricultural futures, and it takes about 30,000-50,000 yuan to fry non-ferrous metals such as copper and gold. The commissions charged are different according to different varieties, such as soybean per lot 15 yuan, corn per lot, 8 yuan and Shanghai copper, which account for four ten thousandths of the transaction amount.

After a novice opens an account, if it is online trading, he needs to download the online trading software (with market analysis software) of his futures brokerage company, install it on the computer, and enter the online trading system, so that he can trade futures online. Futures companies usually have experts to explain trading training on weekends, and novices can listen more.
