==== Contract Specifications ====
=== Contract Specifications ===
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key specifications include expiry date, margin requirements, and settlement type.
Cryptocurrency futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include:
- '''Expiry''': Futures contracts can be quarterly or perpetual. Quarterly futures expire every three months, while perpetual futures have no expiry date.
- '''Margin''': Traders must maintain a minimum margin to keep positions open. Margin requirements vary by exchange and leverage level.
- '''Settlement''': Contracts are settled in cash or the underlying asset, depending on the exchange and contract type.
Β 
=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
[[Perpetual Futures]] are designed to mimic spot trading by 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, making them suitable for traders with specific time horizons.
Β 
=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short positions to maintain the alignment of perpetual futures prices with the spot market. Rates can be positive (longs pay shorts) or negative (shorts pay longs) and are determined by market demand.
Β 
=== Liquidation Price Calculations ===
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin requirement. The liquidation price depends on the leverage used, position size, and initial margin. Exchanges like [[Binance]] and [[Bybit]] provide built-in calculators to estimate this.

Perpetual futures do not have an expiry date, making them ideal for long-term speculation. Quarterly futures expire every three months, requiring traders to roll over positions. The choice between the two depends on the trader’s [[Futures Trading Strategies]] and risk tolerance.
Fees for futures trading typically include maker and taker fees. Below is a breakdown of fee structures on major exchanges:

Proper position sizing is essential to manage risk. Traders should calculate the position size based on their risk tolerance and account balance. For example, risking 1% of the account balance per trade is a common strategy.
[[Cross Margin]] uses the entire account balance to prevent liquidation, while [[Isolated Margin]] restricts margin to a specific position. Cross margin is riskier but offers flexibility, whereas isolated margin limits potential losses.


==== Cross/Isolated Margin Modes ====
=== Hedging Strategies ===
Cross margin uses the entire account balance to support positions, while isolated margin allocates a specific amount to each trade. Choosing the right mode depends on the trader’s [[Risk Management for Futures]] approach.
Hedging involves opening opposite positions to offset potential losses. For example, a trader holding Bitcoin can short Bitcoin futures to protect against price declines.


==== Hedging Strategies ====
=== Arbitrage Opportunities ===
Hedging involves taking opposite positions to offset potential losses. For example, a trader holding BTC spot can short BTC futures to hedge against price drops. This strategy is particularly useful in volatile markets.
Arbitrage involves exploiting price differences between exchanges or markets. For instance, traders can profit from discrepancies between spot and futures prices.
