The answer is no, according to Chapter III, Article 14, Paragraph 8 of the Measures for the Administration of Futures Practitioners issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, futures practitioners should abide by the practice standards and may not engage in futures trading in their own or others' names. The reason why futures practitioners are prohibited from buying and selling futures is mainly to prevent practitioners from using improper means to infringe on customers' interests (such as hedging, gambling, giving priority to employees' trading, etc.). ). If customers know that employees of their futures agency companies are also speculating in futures, they will generally worry about being treated unfairly, which will affect their investment and the number of customers, and eventually lead to a decrease in commission income of futures companies.
