The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.
A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract.
The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market.
Investors can invest or speculate in futures. Most people think that improper speculation in futures, such as short selling without goods, will lead to financial market turmoil, which is not correct. Going long and shorting at the same time is a healthy and normal trading market.

China's stock index futures has established an investor suitability system, which requires investors to meet three hard requirements in participating in stock index futures:
First of all, the threshold for investors to open an account is more than 500,000 yuan.
Secondly, investors who intend to participate in stock index futures trading need to pass the stock index futures knowledge test.
