It is not necessarily a spot transaction. There is another kind of transaction, just electronic transaction. Look at the beautiful soybeans in CBOT. They will move during the day. This is electronic trading, and it is also a long-short transaction between the two parties through the host of the exchange. In fact, their electronic disks are just like our domestic daytime transactions. It's just that the activity may not be as high as ours Another kind of disk is called artificial disk, which corresponds to electronic disk.
At night in our country and during the day in the United States, the transaction is quite active. This is an artificial market, that is, there are people in the exchange who are bidding openly.
Electronic disk and manual disk are two different trading methods according to different bidding methods.
According to different trading places, distinguish between on-site and off-site
There is no relationship between the two classification methods.
