Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key specifications include expiry, margin requirements, and settlement methods. Below is a comparison of futures contract specs across major exchanges:
Futures contracts have specific parameters, including expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For example, Bitcoin futures on Binance expire quarterly, while perpetual futures have no expiry date.

==== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ====
=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
Perpetual futures, such as those on Binance, do not have an expiry date and use a [[Funding Rate Mechanisms]] to keep the contract price close to the spot price. Quarterly futures, like those on Bybit, expire every three months and are settled at the expiration date.


==== Funding Rate Mechanisms ====
Perpetual futures have no expiry date, while quarterly futures expire every three months. Perpetual contracts rely on [[Funding Rate Mechanisms]] to maintain price alignment with the spot market. Quarterly futures often see increased volatility as expiry approaches.
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders to maintain the contract price close to the spot price. For example, Binance adjusts funding rates every 8 hours based on market conditions.


==== 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 Bitcoin futures requires a 10% margin, and liquidation occurs if the price moves 10% against the position.


=== Exchange Comparisons ===
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders to balance the contract price with the spot price. Rates can be positive (longs pay shorts) or negative (shorts pay longs). Historical funding rate data can be found on platforms like [[CoinGlass]].


Different exchanges offer varying leverage limits, fee structures, and unique features.

Fees vary by exchange and trading volume. Binance charges a maker-taker fee of 0.02%-0.04%, while Bybit and Bitget offer competitive rates with discounts for high-volume traders.

==== Position Sizing for Futures ====
== Trading Mechanics ==
Position sizing determines the amount of capital allocated to each trade. For example, a trader with a $10,000 account might allocate 2% ($200) to a single position to manage risk.


==== Cross/Isolated Margin Modes ====
=== Position Sizing ===
Cross margin uses the entire account balance to cover potential losses, while isolated margin limits risk to the specific position. For instance, a trader using isolated margin on Bybit can limit losses to the margin allocated to a single trade.


==== Hedging Strategies ====
Proper position sizing is critical to managing risk. Use the formula: Position Size = (Account Balance * Risk Percentage) / (Entry Price - Stop Loss).
Hedging involves opening offsetting positions to reduce risk. For example, a trader holding Bitcoin might short Bitcoin futures to hedge against price declines.


==== Arbitrage Opportunities ====
=== Cross vs Isolated Margin ===
Arbitrage exploits price differences between markets. For instance, a trader might buy Bitcoin on Binance and sell Bitcoin futures on Bybit to profit from price discrepancies.


=== Funding Rate Historical Data ===
Cross Margin uses the entire account balance to support open positions, while Isolated Margin allocates a specific amount to each position. Cross Margin is safer for diversified portfolios, while Isolated Margin limits losses to the allocated margin.
Β 
Historical funding rates provide insights into market sentiment. For example, a consistently high funding rate indicates strong demand for long positions.
