Short futures orders refer to investors selling a contract at a high price and buying it back at a low price, so the difference between selling and buying is the investor's income. This order is called an empty order. Contrary to an empty futures order, futures simply means that investors buy a contract at a low price and then sell it at a high price. The difference in the middle is the income, which is called multiple orders.

Can empty single futures be delivered?

Yes, empty futures orders can also be delivered. The delivery of empty futures orders is very simple. Generally speaking, investors predict that a futures product will fall in the next few months, so they start to buy short orders. When the futures delivery date approaches, commodity prices do fall as expected, and at this time, empty futures orders can be delivered.

Generally, futures are delivered in kind. In physical delivery, investors need to look at the delivery place stipulated in the contract and then convert it into physical objects. If you use commodity futures, you need to use cash delivery.

Futures trading is a kind of margin mechanism, which deals with the standard contract of commodities rather than the commodities themselves. Generally, investors who do futures are arbitrage profits, and few investors will do physical delivery of futures. Physical delivery is usually troublesome, and only a few merchants or manufacturers will choose physical delivery.

When futures are delivered, if investors do not want to make physical delivery near the delivery date, they can choose to close the futures contract. If the futures contract is not closed, all the expenses incurred by physical delivery need to be borne by the investors themselves.

The investment risk of futures trading is very high, even greater than that of stocks. Therefore, when investing in futures, investors are advised to pay the deposit according to their risk tolerance.
