What’s the difference between perpetual and delivery contracts?
Delivery contracts don’t have funding fees. The price difference between a contract and the spot market is called the basis. As the expiration date approaches, the basis generally tends toward zero.
A premium, where a delivery contract trades above the spot price, is often seen as reflecting the cost of holding and market sentiment; it doesn’t represent a forecast of future prices.

Limiting the maximum loss on each trade to a small portion of your account is more important than guessing the perfect entry point.
