The financial institutions entrusted with transactions must have sufficient equipment, information, and trading capabilities, and can conduct transactions in any market.
- Cash flow risk management: To ensure the stability of the Company’s working capital turnover, the Company’s source of funds for derivatives trading is limited to its own funds, and its operating amount should consider the funding needs of the forecast cash receipts and payments in the next three months.

- Risk measurement, supervision, and control personnel shall belong to different units from the above-mentioned personnel and shall report to the board of directors or to senior executives who are not responsible for transactions or position decision-making.
- Legal Risk Management:
- Any contract documents signed with financial institutions should use international standard documents as much as possible to avoid legal risks.
- Non-standardized documents signed with financial institutions should be inspected by professionals from foreign exchange and legal or legal counsel before they can be formally signed.
- Commodity risk management:
Traders should have complete and correct professional knowledge about the derivative products to be traded and require financial institutions to fully disclose product risks to avoid losses caused by the misuse of derivative products.
