Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific date. Key elements include expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For instance, [[Perpetual Futures]] do not have an expiry date, unlike [[Quarterly Futures]] which settle every three months.


* **Expiry**: Contracts have a set expiration date. Perpetual futures, however, do not expire.
==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
* **Margin**: The collateral required to open and maintain a position.
[[Perpetual Futures]] are designed to mimic the spot market, using a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to keep the contract price close to the spot price. [[Quarterly Futures]], on the other hand, have fixed expiry dates and often exhibit higher volatility as the expiry approaches.
* **Settlement**: Contracts can be settled in cash or by delivering the underlying asset.
 
==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short positions to maintain the contract price close to the spot price. It is calculated based on the difference between the futures price and the spot price, and is typically paid every 8 hours.
 
==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin level. The [[Liquidation Price]] depends on the leverage used, the position size, and the margin mode (cross or isolated). Proper understanding of this can prevent unexpected losses.

Liquidation Price Calculations

Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin level. The Liquidation Price depends on the leverage used, the position size, and the margin mode (cross or isolated). Proper understanding of this can prevent unexpected losses.

Exchange Comparisons
