'''Contract Specifications'''
1. Contract Specifications
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include:
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include:
- [[Expiry Date]]: The date when the contract settles. 
- [[Margin Requirements]]: The collateral needed to open and maintain a position. 
- [[Settlement Type]]: Determines whether the contract is settled in cash or the underlying asset. 


- '''Expiry''': Futures contracts have a set expiration date, after which the contract is settled. Quarterly futures typically expire every three months, while [[Perpetual Futures]] do not have an expiry date.
2. Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures 
- '''Margin''': Margin requirements vary by exchange and leverage level. Traders must maintain a minimum margin to keep positions open.
- [[Perpetual Futures]]: These contracts have no expiry date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely. They use a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to align the contract price with the spot price.
- '''Settlement''': Settlement can be in cash or the underlying asset, depending on the contract type.
- [[Quarterly Futures]]: These contracts expire every three months and are settled at the expiry date.


'''Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures'''
3. Funding Rate Mechanisms 
- [[Perpetual Futures]] are designed to mimic the spot market and do not expire. They use a [[Funding Rate]] mechanism to maintain price alignment with the spot market.
The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short traders to maintain price alignment. It is calculated based on the difference between the futures price and the spot price.
- Quarterly futures have a fixed expiration date, making them suitable for hedging and arbitrage strategies.


'''Funding Rate Mechanisms'''
4. Liquidation Price Calculations 
The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short traders in perpetual futures contracts. It ensures the contract price stays close to the spot price. Funding rates can be positive or negative, depending on market conditions.
The [[Liquidation Price]] is the price at which a trader's position is automatically closed due to insufficient margin. It depends on the leverage used and the initial margin.


'''Liquidation Price Calculations'''
Exchange Comparisons 
Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin level. The [[Liquidation Price]] depends on leverage, position size, and margin mode (cross or isolated).


=== Exchange Comparisons ===
1. Leverage Limits Comparison 
Below is a comparison of leverage limits across major exchanges:

=== Trading Mechanics ===
1. Position Sizing for Futures 
[[Position Sizing]] is critical for managing risk. Traders should consider leverage, margin, and risk tolerance when determining position size. 


'''Position Sizing'''
2. Cross vs Isolated Margin Modes 
Effective [[Position Sizing]] is crucial for managing risk. Traders should calculate position size based on account balance, risk tolerance, and stop-loss levels.
- [[Cross Margin]]: Uses the entire account balance as collateral, reducing the risk of liquidation. 
- [[Isolated Margin]]: Allocates a specific amount of margin to a position, limiting potential losses.


'''Cross/Isolated Margin Modes'''
3. Hedging Strategies 
- [[Cross Margin]] uses the entire account balance as collateral, reducing the risk of liquidation but increasing overall exposure.
[[Hedging Strategies]] involve opening opposing positions to mitigate risk. For example, a trader can use futures to hedge against a spot position.
- [[Isolated Margin]] allocates a specific amount of collateral to a single position, limiting risk but increasing the likelihood of liquidation.


'''Hedging Strategies'''
4. Arbitrage Opportunities 
Hedging involves opening opposing positions to offset potential losses. For example, a trader holding Bitcoin in spot can short Bitcoin futures to hedge against price declines.
[[Arbitrage Opportunities]] arise when price discrepancies exist between exchanges or between futures and spot markets.


'''Arbitrage Opportunities'''

Arbitrage exploits price discrepancies between markets. Common strategies include [[Spot-Futures Arbitrage]] and [[Cross-Exchange Arbitrage]].
