Futures trading is a standardized contract trading method in which investors buy and sell various commodities on the futures exchange after paying a deposit of 5%- 10%. Ordinary investors can make a profit by buying low and selling high or selling high and buying low.

Spot enterprises can also use futures to hedge and reduce their business risks. Futures traders generally buy and sell futures contracts through futures brokerage companies. In addition, the obligations they have to undertake after buying and selling the contract can be relieved by reverse trading (hedging or liquidation) before the contract expires.
