1, different varieties have different handling fees. Relatively large and powerful futures companies charge lower fees, while some small futures companies charge slightly higher fees. The fees charged by different futures companies in different regions are different, and the fees will be different according to the size and trading volume of customers' funds. Futures companies will also moderately reduce the handling fee for customers with large funds or even millions. In addition to the handling fee, the exchange will also charge the investor protection fund at a rate of 0.2%, which is equivalent to the stamp duty on stock transactions.
2. The floating profit and loss of futures refers to the settlement institution's calculation of the floating profit and loss of members' open contracts according to the settlement price of the day's transactions, and determination of the amount of margin payable for open contracts. The calculation method of floating profit and loss is: floating profit and loss = (settlement price of the day-opening price) x position x contract unit-handling fee. If it is positive, it means that it is a long floating profit or a short floating loss, that is, the price increase after the long position is a long floating profit, and the price increase after the short position is a short floating loss. If it is negative, it means the floating loss of bulls or the floating profit of bears, that is, the price drop after the bulls open positions indicates the floating loss of bulls, or the price drop after the bears open positions indicates the floating profit of bears. If the amount of margin is not enough to maintain the open position contract, the clearing institution will inform the members to make up the difference before the market opens the next day, that is, to add margin, otherwise it will be forced to close the position. If there are floating profits, members can't put forward this part of the profits unless the liquidation contract is closed and the floating profits are turned into actual profits.
3. Futures, completely different from spot, are actually tradable goods (commodities). Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts with certain mass products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds as the targets. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments.
The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later.
A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
