If you only have 10 thousand yuan in your hand, can you speculate in futures? How much does it cost to do futures? Do you need at least 500 thousand? Most friends who have never been exposed to futures will have such a question in their hearts. Does the futures account have a threshold and need a lot of money to operate? Futures are margin trading, and the margins of different futures varieties are different. Generally speaking, commodity futures have no capital requirements. As long as there is enough first-hand margin funds, you can start trading, provided that the risk of fluctuation is not considered, and more than 90 futures listed on the exchange have no capital requirements. For example, doing corn futures only costs two or three thousand yuan, and there is no problem in opening a position. But if you want to make specific futures products, such as crude oil, PTA, palm oil and so on. , need to open special permissions. The condition for crude oil to operate is that the capital can reach 500,000 for five consecutive trading days, and the remaining open-end capital such as iron ore and PTA only needs to reach 65,438+10,000 for five consecutive trading days. If you want to trade financial futures, such as stock index options, stock index options, both of which, like crude oil futures, need to meet the requirement of 500 thousand yuan for five consecutive trading days before you can open the authority. Finally, if you want to be an investor in commodity options, you have to open an account for five consecutive trading days, and the funds should meet 6,543,800 yuan. If share price index futures's authority, the above authority can be exempted. The margin of each futures product is different, so the trading funds required for each product are different. It is impossible for everyone to have a lot of money to operate futures and choose the varieties that suit them according to their own abilities.
