Huishang Futures "Futures Knowledge Enters Campus" Event — Visiting Pingdingshan University

To deepen college students’ understanding of financial practice and build a new path for industry-education integration, on May 22, with the support of the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, Huishang Futures successfully held the first “Futures Knowledge Goes to Campus” event at Pingdingshan College. This event received strong support from the College of Economics and Management, which promoted information about the 8th “Zhengshang Cup” competition to students and advanced the integration of futures knowledge education into the national education system through a combination of theoretical lectures and practical competition. A total of 123 students participated on-site.

During the event, Huishang Futures analysts first focused on the 8th “Zhengshang Cup” National College Student Financial Simulation Trading Contest, systematically interpreting the competition rules and operating procedures, emphasizing the practical value of learning through competition, and inspiring students to deepen their professional understanding through simulated trading. From the inception of the commodity futures era at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1848 to the opening of a new era of financial derivatives with foreign exchange futures in 1972, the lecturer also highlighted the development of the futures market, trading rules, and relevant laws and regulations. In the practical analysis section, the core rules such as the margin system and two-way trading mechanism were explained through a differentiated analysis of futures and forward contracts; combined with relevant laws and regulations, practical points such as account opening, risk control, delivery, and settlement were elaborated. Students actively participated and engaged in discussions, and after the event, they enthusiastically asked questions related to the competition, which lecturer Wu Piaopiao answered in detail, creating a lively atmosphere on-site.

The 8th “Zhengshang Cup” National College Student Financial Simulation Trading Contest is guided by the Futures Supervision Division of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Youth League Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and co-hosted by the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and the China Futures Association. The competition will run from May 11, 2025, to November 18, 2025. This “Futures Knowledge Goes to Campus” event effectively strengthened students’ systematic understanding of the operational mechanisms of the futures market through “competition-driven + theoretical foundation + regulatory protection.” Huishang Futures will continue to deepen school-enterprise cooperation and promote collaborative innovation in “industry, academia, and research.” (Author: Wu Piaopiao Photography: Wang Wei)
