Formal futures platforms also have agents and intermediaries, and their main economic profit is the handling fee of investors' capital injection transactions. The more customers invest, the more agents or middlemen get. Under the temptation of interests, many agents and brokers take irregular measures in order to obtain profits, such as fabricating professional analysts' operating orders, deliberately shouting counter-orders and causing losses. If you encounter such a loss scam on the regular futures platform, you can collect relevant evidence and recover it according to law.
Futures, completely different from spot, are actually tradable goods (commodities). Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts based on some popular products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments. The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.
