1. Analysis from account opening channels.
Generally, you should choose an overseas licensed regular futures company to open an account, but the overseas regular futures company needs to do KYC(Know your customer) certification, which is relatively complicated, but it ensures the investor's principal security and the authenticity of the transaction.
2. Analyze the source of trading software.
Most investors in futures account choose branches of well-known domestic futures companies in Hong Kong or controlled Hong Kong futures companies to open accounts.
There are basically two kinds of software: one is Yisheng (Polaris) trading software commonly used by futures companies, which is widely used by Hong Kong branches of many domestic futures companies; One is the asset management software of foreign futures fund-raising companies, which is suitable for investors to conduct sub-account transactions, such as "trust manager" trading software (similar to the change of ownership of domestic futures) and wind soft asset management software.
No matter what kind of plug-in futures trading software, as long as the source is downloaded from official website, a futures company, or official website or a "trust manager", it can only be true, not downloaded in official website, but installed privately by business personnel through network breathing and USB flash drive, so the authenticity is not high.
3. Use the form of contract pending orders to judge.
Hang an unpopular contract to see the changes in handicap. If it is a firm offer, the order will be reported to the exchange. If you choose some unpopular contract pending orders, it will cause changes in the handicap, which can be identified by pending orders and withdrawing orders.
4. Print the statement of the futures company.
If it's a firm offer, you can print a formal statement in the futures company. If the customer requests to print the statement, and the other party cannot cooperate, it may be suspected that it is a false quotation.
5. Look at the amount of margin, see what currency is used for settlement, and whether there is a large and small HSI. If a single platform can only make HSI, it must be a fake disk.
