<![CDATA[The Commodity Futures Trading Arbitration Board (BAKTI) serves as one of the dispute resolution mechanisms in the field of Futures Trading (PBK), as stipulated under Article 20 paragraph (2) of Bappebti Regulation Number 4 of 2020. In practice, however, BAKTI has not become the primary choice for disputing parties. The majority of futures trading disputes are instead resolved through general courts, despite the fact that litigation is often time-consuming, costly, and conducted in an open forum. Data reveals that from 2009 to 2025, only 60 disputes were resolved through BAKTI. This reality warrants further scholarly inquiry. The findings of this study reveal that the low utilization of BAKTI as a dispute resolution forum in the field of Commodity Futures Trading is influenced by several key factors: the form of arbitration clauses in the Client Agreement, which take the form of a pactum de com promittendo and are optional in nature; the preference of business actors for general courts, which are perceived to offer greater opportunity to avoid liability for damages; and the tendency of legal counsel to recommend court-based dispute resolution for financial reasons and procedural familiarity. This study recommends measures to increase the utilization of BAKTI as a dispute resolution forum, including the reformulation of arbitration clauses, enhanced socialization and education regarding BAKTI, as well as fee reform and the provision of incentives for parties, all of which are expected to contribute to greater utilization of BAKTI as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that is swift, efficient, and confidential.]]>
