=== Futures-Specific Elements ===
Understanding the intricacies of crypto futures is essential for profitable trading. Key components include: 


=== Contract Specifications === 
Understanding the mechanics of crypto futures is critical for success. Key elements include:
Crypto futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key specifications include expiry, margin requirements, and settlement methods. Perpetual futures, which lack an expiry date, differ significantly from quarterly futures, which settle every three months.

Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key specifications include expiry, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For example, quarterly futures expire every three months, while perpetual futures have no expiry date.  
| Exchange      | Expiry Type    | Margin Requirement | Settlement Method 
 
| Binance        | Perpetual       | 5%-125x            | USDT/Coin-Margined  
**Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures**  
| Bybit         | Quarterly       | 1%-100x            | USDT-Margined  
Perpetual futures, such as those offered on [[Binance]] and [[Bybit]], use a [[Funding Rate]] mechanism to anchor the contract price to the spot price. Quarterly futures, on the other hand, settle at expiration, making them ideal for hedging against long-term price movements.  
| Bitget        | Perpetual      | 2%-125x            | USDT-Margined

**Funding Rate Mechanisms**  
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders to maintain the contract's alignment with the spot price. High funding rates can indicate market sentiment, but they also increase holding costs for long positions.  


=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===  
**Liquidation Price Calculations**  
Perpetual futures, such as those on [[Binance]] and [[Bitget]], use a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to anchor the contract price to the spot market. Quarterly futures, like those on [[Bybit]], settle at fixed intervals, making them ideal for hedging against market volatility.   
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. Understanding how to calculate liquidation prices is essential for [[Risk Management for Futures]].   


=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
=== Exchange Comparisons ===
The funding rate ensures that the perpetual futures price converges with the spot price. Positive funding rates indicate bullish sentiment, while negative rates suggest bearishness. Historical data from [[CoinGlass]] reveals that funding rates often spike during high volatility. 


=== Liquidation Price Calculations === 
Choosing the right exchange is crucial for optimizing trading performance. Below is a comparison of key features across major platforms:
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. A precise understanding of [[Position Sizing for Futures]] and [[Cross/Isolated Margin Modes]] is crucial to avoid liquidation.
