First of all, the futures account itself has no minimum capital requirements. It only needs to meet the conditions of age 18, full capacity for civil conduct, opening an account in a true and legal identity, legal source of funds, non-futures employees, non-public officials, no bad credit information, and certain risk tolerance. However, after opening an account for futures trading, there is a capital threshold requirement, and the requirements for trading different varieties of futures funds are different.

Investors need to distinguish between two different types of futures: commodity futures and financial futures.
