=== Futures-Specific Elements ===


=== Contract Specifications ===  
Understanding the mechanics of crypto futures is critical for success. Key elements include:
Futures contracts in crypto trading come with specific parameters such as expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. Understanding these is crucial for effective [[Risk Management for Futures]].   
 
**Contract Specifications**  
Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key specifications include expiry, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For example, quarterly futures expire every three months, while perpetual futures have no expiry date. 
 
**Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures** 
Perpetual futures, such as those offered on [[Binance]] and [[Bybit]], use a [[Funding Rate]] mechanism to anchor the contract price to the spot price. Quarterly futures, on the other hand, settle at expiration, making them ideal for hedging against long-term price movements. 
 
**Funding Rate Mechanisms** 
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders to maintain the contract's alignment with the spot price. High funding rates can indicate market sentiment, but they also increase holding costs for long positions. 
 
**Liquidation Price Calculations** 
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. Understanding how to calculate liquidation prices is essential for [[Risk Management for Futures]].   
 
=== Exchange Comparisons ===

=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===  
{| class="wikitable" 
Perpetual futures, unlike quarterly contracts, do not have an expiry date but rely on [[Funding Rate Mechanisms]] to anchor the price to the spot market. Quarterly futures are ideal for traders looking to hedge against long-term price movements.

=== Trading Mechanics ===
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders to maintain price alignment. Positive rates incentivize shorts, while negative rates incentivize longs. Historical data from [[CoinGlass]] can help predict these trends.

**Position Sizing for Futures**  
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. Tools like [[TradingView]] and exchange APIs provide real-time data to calculate liquidation prices accurately.   
Proper position sizing ensures that traders can withstand market volatility without risking excessive capital. A common rule is to risk no more than 1-2% of the account balance per trade.

**Cross/Isolated Margin Modes** 
Cross margin uses the entire account balance to prevent liquidation, while isolated margin limits risk to the specific position. Each mode has its advantages depending on the trader’s [[Risk Management for Futures]] strategy.

Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Below is a comparison of leverage tiers across major exchanges:  
Hedging involves opening opposing positions to mitigate risk. For example, a trader holding Bitcoin spot can short Bitcoin futures to protect against downside risk.
