Speaking from my own experience as an active trader, I pay close attention to the exact instruments available before choosing a broker. With CITIC Futures, what stands out is that their service is specifically oriented toward futures contracts and related derivatives, rather than the broad mix seen at some global brokers. CITIC Futures is fully regulated in both mainland China under CFFEX and in Hong Kong, holding formal futures licenses, which assures me of their legitimacy in the derivatives space. For my trading and asset management needs, CITIC Futures has made it clear they support a spectrum of futures instruments—primarily financial futures, options, and various derivatives through established exchanges. However, I note that traditional spot forex pairs, stocks, indices, and particularly cryptocurrencies are not advertised as being available for direct trading through this broker. Instead, the focus remains squarely on futures contracts and the advisory, technical, and asset management services surrounding them. This specialization means that, while I benefit from robust risk management oversight and a well-regulated environment, I don't have access to spot or margin trading in other asset classes through CITIC Futures. Anyone hoping for extensive multi-asset coverage would need to look elsewhere, but if your interest lies in futures—especially within Chinese and Hong Kong markets—the focused offering may appeal. Personally, I like the clarity and regulatory backing, but I always check their website to confirm the current list of products and fees, as this can impact trading costs and access requirements over time.
