=== Futures-Specific Elements ===


=== Contract Specifications ===
'''1. Contract Specifications''' 
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include:
Every futures contract has specific parameters that traders must understand. These include expiry dates, margin requirements, and settlement methods. For example, Bitcoin futures contracts on [[Binance]] are settled in USDT, while other platforms may use coin-margined settlements.


* **Expiry**: Contracts have specific expiration dates (e.g., quarterly or perpetual).
'''2. Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures''' 
* **Margin**: The collateral required to open and maintain a position.
Perpetual futures, such as those on [[Bybit]], do not have an expiry date and rely on a [[Funding Rate Mechanism]] to maintain price alignment with the spot market. Quarterly futures, like those on [[Bitget]], expire every three months and are settled at the expiration date.
* **Settlement**: Contracts are settled in cash or physical delivery of the underlying asset.


For a detailed comparison of contract specifications, refer to the table below:
'''3. Funding Rate Mechanisms''' 
The funding rate is a periodic payment between long and short traders to balance the contract price with the spot price. This mechanism is critical in perpetual futures and varies across exchanges.

'''4. Liquidation Price Calculations'''

Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the required maintenance margin. Understanding how to calculate the liquidation price is vital for [[Risk Management for Futures]]. 
! Exchange !! Contract Type !! Expiry !! Margin Requirements !! Settlement
|-
| [[Binance]] || Perpetual || N/A || 5% - 20% || Cash

=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===
=== Exchange Comparisons ===
Perpetual futures have no expiry date, making them ideal for long-term strategies. Quarterly futures expire every three months, requiring traders to roll over their positions. The choice between the two depends on your [[Futures Trading Strategies]] and market outlook.


=== Funding Rate Mechanisms ===
'''1. Leverage Limits Comparison''' 
Funding rates ensure perpetual futures prices align with spot prices. Positive funding rates indicate long positions pay shorts, while negative rates mean the opposite. Historical funding rate data can be found on [[CoinGlass]].
Different exchanges offer varying leverage limits. For instance, [[Binance]] provides up to 125x leverage, while [[Bybit]] and [[Bitget]] offer up to 100x.


=== Liquidation Price Calculations ===
'''2. Fee Structures''' 
Liquidation occurs when your margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. Tools like [[TradingView]] and exchange APIs provide real-time liquidation price calculations to help manage risk.
Futures trading fees vary by exchange. Binance charges a 0.02% maker fee and 0.04% taker fee, whereas Bybit offers a 0.01% maker fee and 0.06% taker fee.


== Exchange Comparisons ==
'''3. Unique Features''' 
Each exchange has unique features, such as Binance’s [[Portfolio Margin]] system or Bybit’s [[Insurance Fund]] mechanism.
