Trading perpetual and future are different. Exchanges are calling all of them future market which can be confusing.

Did you know that both market are not the same, although they mean the same thing with the exception of the funding rate that makes them different. I think many traders does not even know their differences but they are only trading perpetual.

What makes you as a trader prefer perpetual derivative to future derivative? Or you even do not know they are not the same?
This is my first time of having this idea that both are not the same, like before I was having this feelings that both operate and function the same. This is how I classified those market; future, options and margins and perpetual trading. All these market are seen as one but seeing that someone who have experience in trading said they are not the same, although I haven't tried them rather what i do trade is only on spot trading which I found it more comfortable to trading on.
