=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
For more details, see [[Futures Trading Strategies]].
Perpetual futures, such as those offered by [[Binance]] and [[Bybit]], do not have an expiry date and are settled through a [[Funding Rate]] mechanism. Quarterly futures, like those on [[Bitget]], expire every three months and are settled at the expiry date.


=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
The [[Funding Rate]] is a periodic payment between long and short traders to keep the contract price close to the spot price. Historical data from [[CoinGlass]] shows that funding rates can vary significantly between exchanges and assets.
Perpetual futures lack an expiry date, making them ideal for long-term positions. Quarterly futures expire every three months, offering opportunities for specific market conditions. Understanding the differences is vital for selecting the right contract type.


=== Liquidation Price Calculations ===
==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
Understanding [[Liquidation Price]] is essential to manage risk. It is calculated based on the leverage used, margin mode, and entry price. For example, a trader using 10x leverage with an entry price of $30,000 on a BTC/USDT perpetual contract would have a liquidation price of $27,000 in isolated margin mode.
Funding rates ensure the perpetual futures price stays close to the spot price. Positive rates mean long positions pay shorts, and vice versa. Monitoring funding rates can provide insights into market sentiment.
 
==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
Liquidation occurs when a position's margin is insufficient. Calculating liquidation prices helps in setting appropriate stop-loss levels. Use tools like [[Risk Management for Futures]] to avoid unexpected liquidations.
