Futures open at home but don't open at night, and foreign futures are also traded at night, which leads to the fluctuation of the next day going higher and lower, and the risk is not easy to control. Spot is an independent market trend, and the international index has little influence and is easy to hold.

5. Standardized contracts for futures trading, and the spot target is the spot of physical goods.
