I don't know what programmed traders in futures companies are like, but I don't think they are trading. . . There is no relevant regulation on self-management of futures companies, so we should write some programmed strategies. Income should only be a fixed salary. If CTA and other laws and regulations come out in the future, it should be a good career.

Or you can go private. At present, the futures plan is not very mature, but there is a general direction and trend at this time.

Several products produced by CICC this year can't be played without programming, and so should stock index futures in the future.

I suggest you don't blindly, you can see for yourself whether the programmed trading is suitable for you, and you can make up several strategies to run it. I suggest you use Yes Trader as the software, and you can visit official website, which is very useful for both novice and advanced users.
