Let's talk about what to consider when looking for a futures company:
1. Rating and qualification:
Futures companies with high ratings still have obvious advantages. First of all, AA-level futures companies all use the best CTP channel on the market, with fast trading speed, complete software types and high cost performance; Secondly, in terms of trading authority, all domestic futures options can be opened (if options are opened, the fees are more favorable than those of brokers); The most important thing is that futures companies with high ratings have better services, stricter supervision, formal and reliable platforms and guaranteed capital security.
2. Handling fee and deposit:
Before opening an account, ask the account manager to confirm the handling fee and deposit standard. After opening an account, they will adjust to a lower fee. If you don't open an account through an account manager, you will generally default to a higher fee.
Futures commission = exchange commission+futures company commission. The handling fee of the exchange is stipulated by the exchange, and any futures company should charge according to this standard, and the handling fee standard of the futures company is different for each futures company. The CSRC stipulates that the highest standard at present is to charge three times the exchange handling fee, and the lowest standard is to charge the exchange handling fee plus 1 minute, which is still very different. Be sure to ask about the handling fee standard before opening an account.
Futures margin = exchange margin+futures company margin, and the margin ratio charged by each futures company can be adjusted according to the amount of customer funds. The minimum standard is adjusted to exchange margin +0%.
3. Trading channels and capital security:
At present, the best trading channel recognized in the industry is CTP channel, and all AA-level futures companies are CTP channels, so the trading speed is fast, and there will be no case that orders cannot be closed, so as to avoid bringing you unnecessary losses. The platform is safe and reliable, and the funds are safe and secure.
4. Post-service:
Futures companies with high ratings generally have a good service system and a special customer service exchange group. The staff will answer all kinds of questions for you, release the latest information and various research reports and so on. It is also important to choose the right account manager. The account manager will help you adjust the handling fee and margin to a lower level, solve various problems in the transaction, and avoid the situation that you can't find someone after opening an account.
