==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
[[Perpetual Futures]] and [[Quarterly Futures]] differ primarily in their expiry dates. Perpetual futures do not expire, while quarterly futures have set expiry dates, typically every three months.
* **Perpetual Futures**: No expiry date, but require funding payments to maintain price alignment with the spot market. 
* **Quarterly Futures**: Expire on specific dates, often used for hedging or arbitrage.


==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
[[Funding Rates]] are periodic payments between long and short traders to maintain the contract price close to the underlying asset price. These rates can be positive or negative, depending on market conditions.
Funding rates ensure that perpetual futures prices track the spot market. These are periodic payments between long and short traders, calculated as: 
 
\[ \text{Funding Rate} = \text{Premium Index} + \text{Interest Rate} \] 
 
Historical funding rate data can be analyzed using platforms like [[CoinGlass]].


==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
[[Liquidation Price]] is the price at which a trader's position is automatically closed due to insufficient margin. It is calculated based on leverage, position size, and margin mode.
Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. The liquidation price is calculated as: 
 
\[ \text{Liquidation Price} = \text{Entry Price} \times \left(1 \pm \frac{1}{\text{Leverage}}\right) \]

* **Isolated Margin**: Allocates a specific margin to each position, limiting risk.

[[Hedging Strategies]] involve taking offsetting positions to reduce risk. For example, a trader might go long on spot and short on futures to hedge against price movements.
Hedging involves opening offsetting positions to mitigate risk. For example, holding a long spot position and a short futures position can protect against price declines.
