To make a futures account, you need to go to a futures brokerage company. The capital requirements for each brokerage company to open an account may be different. Please consult the company where you open an account. The minimum margin requirement for futures is to be able to open a first-hand warehouse, because generally speaking, a first-hand warehouse is the lowest number of trading lots, which is related to the margin charged by various futures brokerage companies. Please ask your brokerage company, and the margin ratio charged by each company is slightly different. Generally, the minimum amount of funds entering the futures market is 5000 yuan. The amount of funds needed for the corn contract is about 2000.

Opening an ordinary commodity futures account requires the above-mentioned funds, followed by some special varieties: PTA, iron ore, crude oil, No.20 glue, options, stock index futures and treasury bonds futures. If these varieties are directly opened, they will need more than 80 points in official website's examination and capital verification. The capital verification of stock index, national debt and crude oil needs 500,000 yuan (the available funds in the account are higher than 500,000 yuan for five consecutive working days), and the capital verification of other varieties is 65,438+10,000 yuan. If there are 50 trading days in the past year, you can directly exempt from capital verification and review and open all special varieties except stock index and national debt.
