How we order futures platforms
We prioritise market depth, open-interest scale, liquidity, reliability, contract breadth, risk controls and operating maturity. We separate specialist decentralised perpetual protocols from centralised exchanges because custody, liquidation mechanics, smart-contract risk and regulatory exposure are different.
Trading rule: lower leverage usually gives a position more room to survive volatility. Maximum leverage is not a target.
