'''1. Contract Specifications'''  
=== Contract Specifications ===  
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.   
Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price and date. Key elements include: 
* **Expiry**: Futures contracts have specific expiration dates. Perpetual futures, however, do not expire. 
* **Margin**: Traders must maintain a margin balance to open and hold positions.
* **Settlement**: Contracts can be settled in cash or physical delivery of the asset.   


'''2. Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures'''  
=== Perpetual vs Quarterly Futures ===  
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.   
* **Perpetual Futures**: These contracts have no expiry date and rely on [[Funding Rate Mechanisms]] to maintain price alignment with the spot market.
* **Quarterly Futures**: These expire every three months and are ideal for traders looking to hedge or speculate on longer-term price movements.   


'''3. Funding Rate Mechanisms'''  
=== 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.   
Funding rates ensure perpetual futures prices align with spot prices. They are periodic payments between long and short traders, calculated using the formula: 
``` 
Funding Rate = (Premium Index) + (Clamp Function) 
``` 
Historical funding rate data can be analyzed using platforms like [[CoinGlass]].   


'''4. Liquidation Price Calculations'''  
=== 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]].   
Liquidation occurs when a trader’s margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. The liquidation price depends on leverage, position size, and margin mode.

* Bitget: Copy trading for strategy replication. 


'''1. Position Sizing''' 
== Trading Mechanics ==  
Proper position sizing is crucial to manage risk. Traders should allocate a small percentage of their portfolio to each trade.  


'''2. Cross vs Isolated Margin'''  
=== Position Sizing ===  
Cross margin allows traders to use their entire account balance as collateral, while isolated margin limits collateral to a specific position.   
Proper position sizing is critical in [[Futures Trading Strategies]]. Use a margin calculator to determine optimal position sizes based on risk tolerance.   


'''3. Hedging Strategies'''  
=== Cross vs Isolated Margin === 
Futures can be used to hedge against price volatility. For example, holding a short futures position can offset losses in a long spot position.   
* **Cross Margin**: Uses the entire account balance to prevent liquidation.   
* **Isolated Margin**: Allocates a specific margin to a position, limiting risk to that position only.   


'''4. Arbitrage Opportunities'''  
=== Hedging Strategies ===  
Arbitrage involves exploiting price differences between spot and futures markets. This strategy requires precise timing and low latency.   
Hedging involves opening opposing positions to mitigate risk. For example, holding spot BTC while shorting BTC futures.
