...What makes you as a trader prefer perpetual derivative to future derivative? Or you even do not know they are not the same?

They have a fundamental difference between each other, which is that you can hold perpetual indefinitely, while futures have a specific expiration date. This is the reason why I choose an indefinite derivative, because I can close my order ahead of schedule if the price moves in the opposite direction to my expectations, and thereby reduce my losses.
