#futuros What is the difference between quarterly and perpetual futures? And which should you choose?
Both types of futures allow trading with leverage, but there are important differences.
Quarterly futures:
They have a fixed expiration date (for example, at the end of the quarter).
They do not require a financing rate.
They can be traded above or below the spot price, depending on demand.
Perpetual futures:
They have no expiration date.
There is a financing rate: payments between long and short positions.
