Cryptocurrency futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Understanding the core elements of these contracts is crucial for effective trading.
=== Contract Specifications ===
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. Understanding these specifications is crucial for effective [[Futures Trading Strategies]].


==== Contract Specifications ====
{| class="wikitable"
Futures contracts have specific parameters, including expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For instance, Bitcoin futures on [[Binance]] expire quarterly, while [[Perpetual Futures]] have no expiry date. Margin requirements vary by exchange and leverage level, typically ranging from 2% to 50%. Settlement can be either physical (delivery of the asset) or cash-settled, depending on the contract.

! Exchange !! Expiry !! Margin !! Settlement
|-
| Binance || Quarterly || 10x || Cash
|-
| Bybit || Perpetual || 25x || Cash
|-
| Bitget || Quarterly || 20x || Cash
|}


==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
[[Perpetual Futures]] are designed to mimic the spot market, using a funding rate mechanism to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset's price. In contrast, [[Quarterly Futures]] have fixed expiry dates, often leading to price divergence as the expiry approaches. Traders must choose between these based on their trading horizon and risk tolerance.
Perpetual futures have no expiry date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely, while quarterly futures expire every three months. Each type has its own set of advantages and risks, which should be considered in your [[Risk Management for Futures]] plan.


==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short traders in perpetual futures. It ensures the contract price stays aligned with the spot price. Rates can be positive (longs pay shorts) or negative (shorts pay longs), influenced by market sentiment and demand. Monitoring funding rates is essential for managing costs in perpetual contracts.
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders to keep the contract price aligned with the spot price. These rates can significantly impact profitability, especially in [[Arbitrage Opportunities]].


==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
=== Liquidation Price Calculations ===
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. The [[Liquidation Price]] depends on leverage, position size, and margin mode. For example, a 10x leveraged long position on [[Bybit]] will liquidate if the price drops by 10%. Tools like [[Margin Calculators]] help traders estimate liquidation levels before entering a trade.

Fees can erode profits, so it's important to understand the fee structures of different exchanges. Binance, Bybit, and Bitget each have unique fee models that should be factored into your trading strategy.

==== Position Sizing ====
=== Position Sizing ===
[[Position Sizing]] determines the amount of capital allocated to a trade. It’s influenced by risk tolerance, account size, and leverage. For example, a $1,000 account with 10x leverage can control a $10,000 position. Over-leveraging increases liquidation risk, making [[Risk Management]] critical.
Position sizing is the process of determining how much to invest in a single trade. Proper position sizing is a cornerstone of effective [[Risk Management for Futures]].

=== Cross/Isolated Margin Modes ===
[[Cross Margin]] uses the entire account balance to support positions, reducing liquidation risk but exposing the entire account. [[Isolated Margin]] allocates a specific amount to each position, limiting losses but increasing liquidation risk.
Cross margin uses the entire account balance to maintain a position, while isolated margin limits the margin to a specific position. Each mode has its own risk profile and should be chosen based on your trading style and risk tolerance.


==== Hedging Strategies ====
=== Hedging Strategies ===
[[Hedging Strategies]] involve taking offsetting positions to reduce risk. For instance, holding a long spot position and a short futures position protects against price declines. This is particularly useful in volatile markets.
Hedging involves taking offsetting positions to mitigate risk. Common hedging strategies in [[Cryptocurrency Futures Trading]] include using futures to hedge spot positions or employing options contracts.


==== Arbitrage Opportunities ====
=== Arbitrage Opportunities ===
[[Arbitrage]] exploits price differences between markets. For example, buying Bitcoin on [[Binance]] spot and selling Bitcoin futures on [[Bybit]] can yield profits if the futures price is higher. Arbitrage strategies require precision and low latency.
