Yes, Shanghai International Energy Trading Center (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Futures Exchange) began to accept investors' applications for crude oil futures codes on June 3, 20 17 (instead of opening another account, an authority was added to the original commodity futures account, and all those who do not have a commodity futures account must open a commodity futures account before applying for trading codes). Satisfied the conditions, the process is actually very simple.

The basic conditions are: passing the knowledge test (the basic knowledge is easy to pass), meeting the relevant trading experience (since you can think of doing crude oil futures just listed, you can generally meet it), and the financial conditions (the most difficult to meet, 500,000 individuals and 654.38+00,000 legal persons).

Application process: individuals only need to bring a valid ID card, and legal persons will bring more documents (ID card, copy of the unified social code certificate of public institutions, official seal of the company) to the counter of the business department or ask the futures company to open an account at home.
