Precautions:

Traditionally, futures traders choose the most active monthly trading. As time goes by, the forward month will become the latest month until the delivery month. Therefore, in the delivery month, due to the lack of time, the activity space is reduced, and the margin is doubled or even delivered in full. Generally, traders will not drag the contract to the delivery month.

Some commodity futures contracts are active and some are light. The so-called activity means that there are many buyers and sellers and the transaction volume is large. Whenever there are buyers and sellers, you can get rid of the contract at hand smoothly; On the contrary, there are fewer light contracts and sparse transactions. Sometimes, there is no rival to undertake the sale, and no one delivers the goods. Prices either stagnate or skyrocket.
