==== 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 dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For example, Bitcoin futures on [[Binance]] typically expire quarterly, while [[Bybit]] offers both quarterly and perpetual contracts.
Understanding the basics of futures contracts is crucial. Here’s a comparison of key specifications:


==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====

Perpetual futures, unlike quarterly contracts, do not have an expiry date. Instead, they use a [[Funding Rate Mechanisms]] to keep the contract price close to the spot price. Quarterly futures, on the other hand, settle at the end of each quarter, making them suitable for traders with a specific time horizon.

==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short positions to maintain the contract price in line with the spot price. Historical data from [[CoinGlass]] shows that funding rates can vary significantly across exchanges, impacting the cost of holding a position.
[[Perpetual Futures]] do not have an expiry date, making them ideal for long-term strategies. [[Quarterly Futures]] expire every three months and are often used for hedging.


==== Liquidation Price Calculations ====
=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
Liquidation occurs when a trader's margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. The liquidation price depends on the leverage used and the initial margin. For instance, a 10x leverage position on [[Bitget]] will have a higher liquidation risk compared to a 2x leverage position.
