For example, according to the deposit of 10%, you can use 1000 yuan to buy goods with a value of 1000 yuan in the futures market. After the price changes by 3%, the commodity value of 1000 yuan becomes 1030. If the opening direction is correct, then the profit of 30 yuan is the actual profit, and the account amount is changed from 100 to 130, with a yield of 30%. Otherwise, it loses 30 yuan, and the account amount is 70.

Futures are relative to spot. Futures are the subject matter that is bought and sold now, but will be settled or delivered in the future.

The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
