Futures is a kind of derivative instrument. According to the type of spot subject matter, futures can be divided into two categories: commodity futures and financial futures.

Speculators take more risks through futures trading and look for opportunities to make profits from price fluctuations.

When a customer performs operations in the opposite direction for a certain product in a certain month's contract, the system will automatically close the position and close the corresponding number of positions.
