Mastering Bitget's Perpetual Futures Trading
Understanding perpetual futures contracts
Most futures contracts are conventional; that is, the expiration date is specified in the contract. If the contract price approaches the spot price near the settlement date, all related positions will expire (meaning they get settled).
However, as the name implies, perpetual contracts don't have an expiration date. You can hold the positions forever and close them at any time. Another crucial thing to note is perpetual contracts are written on an asset’s index price, which equals the average price of that particular asset with respect to its spot price and trading volume. As a result, these types of futures are mostly exchanged hands at a price very close to the underlying spot price.
Funding Rate
As perpetual contracts have no expiry, profits and losses cannot be calculated in the same way as normal futures contracts. Fund Fees on Bitget are traders’ profits/losses, updated and realized every 8 hours based on the price difference between the perpetual market and the spot market. Bitget does not charge this fee; it is paid into winning accounts with funds taken from losing accounts, depending on the open positions. Real-time funding rates, as well as historical data, can be found here.
Two concepts all futures traders must encounter are margin and leverage.
Margin is the amount of capital traders are required to deposit into their margin account before opening a new position. Leveraging is borrowing capital to trade contracts, amplifying your buying or selling power to a maximum of 125X. With collaterals as proof of traders' ability to honor their contract obligations, they can exploit the borrowed capital from exchanges to undertake a new investment.
Margin requirements and leverage levels vary between exchanges and coin pairs, but rules remain the same: the lower the volatility of the underlying, the higher the leverage available for its futures contracts.
