Matters needing attention in choosing a futures company are: the legality of the futures company. A legitimate futures company shall hang the futures brokerage license issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the financial futures brokerage license and the business license issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in the trading place. The legitimate business department opened by a futures brokerage company in a different place shall also hang out the business license of the business department of the futures brokerage company issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the business license issued by the local industrial and commercial bureau. Note that both the license and the business license are marked with the expiration date. In addition, since the China Securities Regulatory Commission implements the annual inspection system for futures brokerage companies and their business departments, it is also important to pay attention to whether the futures brokerage company you choose has passed the annual inspection on time.
Security of futures companies.
You should choose a brokerage company that can guarantee the safety of funds. The best way is to obtain relevant information to prove that the company has strong strength and good business reputation, and there are no serious self-operated losses and no economic litigation cases in previous operations.
Trading platform for futures companies.
We should choose a futures brokerage company with advanced and safe online trading technology. Online trading has become the main way of futures trading, so the stability, security and convenience of futures market and trading system have become an important guarantee for the success or failure of customers' investment.
Information timeliness of futures companies.
You should choose a brokerage company that can provide accurate market information and investment decisions. Brokerage companies should provide relevant research materials, quotations and trading suggestions to help customers make trading decisions. Some brokerage companies specially send personnel to the producing area to investigate the harvest situation during the harvest season of agricultural products, and master first-hand information to help customers make correct decisions; Some brokerage companies have established friendly and cooperative relations with national ministries and statistical departments to track changes in policies and spot fundamentals. Information is the key factor in the profitability of futures trading, and customers should choose those brokerage companies that attach importance to information work.
Commercial reputation of futures companies.
Whether the futures company can ensure the safety of customers' funds is also an important condition that must be considered. Generally speaking, futures companies with standardized operation and strict compliance with the separation of brokerage business and proprietary business have high credibility.
Service quality of futures companies. This includes hardware and software and other services. For example, does the company open popular self-service entrusted transactions, whether it opens online transactions, and what is the transaction speed? Whether the consulting service and other services of the futures brokerage company or business department, such as the charging standard of handling fees, are reasonable.
