From my perspective as a trader who is always attentive to cost and transparency, the fee structure at CCB Futures demands careful scrutiny. Unlike many internationally recognized futures brokers that publish their full commissions, spreads, and ancillary charges upfront, I have found that CCB Futures only provides limited details regarding their overall fees. According to the information available, CCB Futures applies specific per-lot charges for different futures products— for example, 20 yuan per lot for rapeseed oil or 43 yuan per lot for cotton. These are fixed transaction fees corresponding to each contract, which is somewhat standard within China's regulated futures landscape. However, CCB Futures does not appear to use spreads as a primary fee component, which is typical for futures brokers since pricing is exchange-driven. There's also mention of an internet account opening fee and margin requirements that vary by instrument, but the actual margin rates or possible ongoing account fees are not clearly stated. This lack of comprehensive clarity means that, for me, it’s necessary to directly consult their support or official materials before opening or funding an account, especially given how small differences in fee schedules can impact net returns over time. Another important point is the absence of detailed information on deposit and withdrawal fees, which for some brokers can become surprisingly significant. There are no explicit minimums or charges listed. Given the overall fee structure, while the per-lot commissions seem straightforward and are in line with domestic competitors, I would approach with caution—ensuring that all potential charges, including account-related or operational costs, are fully understood before committing significant capital. This kind of diligence is especially critical when cost transparency is limited, as even regulated firms may evolve their schedules or introduce new fees not immediately apparent.
