Maike positions itself as a service-oriented intermediary for both institutional and individual clients in the Chinese futures market. Its corporate philosophy, as stated on its website, is to 'discover value, create value, and share value.' The broker emphasizes its role in supporting the real economy through professional futures services and risk management solutions.

Additionally, it holds memberships with all major Chinese futures exchanges: Shanghai Futures Exchange, Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, Dalian Commodity Exchange, Guangzhou Futures Exchange, and Shanghai International Energy Exchange. It is also a trading settlement member of CFFEX and an observer member of the Asset Management Association of China.

Maike offers a range of services centered on futures and derivatives. Its core business lines include commodity futures brokerage (covering products listed on SHFE, DCE, ZCE, GFEX, and INE), financial futures brokerage (IF, IC, IH, and TS/TF/T from CFFEX), asset management for qualified investors (covering fixed income, equities, and derivatives strategies), and futures investment advisory. The broker does not offer retail forex or CFD trading; its focus is entirely on listed futures and options contracts.

The broker also provides specialized risk management services and a 'metal arbitrage ratio' data tool for its mobile app. It offers a range of trading platforms tailored to different client needs, from basic mobile trading to sophisticated multi-asset algorithmic execution via InfiniTrader.

Standard accounts are available for individuals and institutions looking to trade futures. The broker supports online account opening through its 'Zhuoshang Maike' app or the China Futures Association's 'Futures Account Opening Cloud' app. Clients can choose from multiple trading platforms: the proprietary 'Zhuoshang Maike' mobile app (iOS and Android) for on-the-go trading; 'BoYi Master 5.5.96.4' for desktop charting and trading with national encryption standards; 'KuaiQi 2 Trading Terminal' for fast order entry; and 'InfiniTrader' (also known as 'Wu Xian Yi') for advanced multi-screen, multi-account trading with Python-based algorithmic capabilities.

All platforms support connections to Chinese futures exchanges and are available for download from the broker’s website. The broker also provides supplementary software like ‘Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime’ for compatibility and various user guides and manuals.

Maike supports bank transfers for deposits and withdrawals through designated bank connections (silver futures transfer) with 11 major Chinese banks: ICBC, CCB, BOC, ABC, Bank of Communications, China Everbright Bank, Minsheng Bank, CIB, China Merchants Bank, CITIC, and Ping An Bank. For ICBC and CCB, the broker can open the silver futures transfer function directly during the account opening process. There are no deposits or withdrawals via e-wallets or cryptocurrencies, as the broker is focused on the regulated Chinese futures market.

The broker requires clients to complete a suitability assessment before trading and to sign agreements electronically. Funding is typically processed through the standardized futures margin system overseen by the China Futures Margin Monitoring Center.

Maike provides customer service via a national hotline (400-029-4008) and a dedicated asset management hotline (400-029-2118). It also offers a night shift order-taking phone number. The website includes an extensive FAQ and knowledge base covering topics such as account opening procedures, margin requirements, contract specifications, trading rules, and platform troubleshooting. The broker also publishes information about its management team, employee qualifications, and compliance status.

For educational content, the broker provides a range of downloadable materials including user manuals for trading platforms, Python algorithm development documentation, and tutorials on order types (GFD, FAK, FOK). It also offers a mobile app with integrated research and market analysis features.

Maike is primarily aimed at Chinese domestic clients interested in trading commodity and financial futures. Its services cater to both retail individual investors and institutional clients, including corporations in the non-ferrous metals and minerals industries seeking hedging and risk management. The broker also serves qualified investors for its asset management products.

Given its regulatory status and product offerings, Maike is not intended for international retail forex traders or those seeking leveraged forex/CFD trading. The broker operates entirely within the Chinese futures regulatory framework and requires mainland Chinese identity documents for account opening.
