10 Resources for Spot and Futures Hedge Planning
Quantity matching starts with the underlying and contract specification. The resources here support checking units and mechanics; they do not rank hedging performance or recommend a coverage percentage.
Start with the task: Convert a chosen covered base quantity into a rounded linear short-contract amount.
Five questions to compare
Same underlying
Match the same underlying. Similar names or correlated assets are not the same quantity exposure.
Linear multiplier
Use a linear base-per-contract multiplier. An inverse quote-face multiplier needs a different calculation.
Contract granularity
Apply the supplied contract step after converting target base quantity to contracts. Keep the rounding direction visible.
Unmatched quantity
Separate residual total spot from uncovered target. They answer different questions about your selected coverage.
Basis and execution assumptions
Matching units does not remove basis, funding or execution effects. Keep those assumptions separate from the quantity worksheet.
Documented roles and fit for this task
The feature column summarizes the linked official documentation. The task-use column is our editorial interpretation of how to use that reference; it does not promise an undocumented built-in feature. Numbers indicate placement, not ratings.
| Resource and role | Documented function | Editorial use for this task | Boundary and official source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Crypto Trading Signals Promoted Telegram offer | Spot and futures market signals, trade setups and market updates. Telegram channel promoted by this page's publisher; editorial first placement | The separate worksheet on this site handles same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. The Telegram channel offers optional market ideas and context. | No independently tested performance, audited track record, payout, journal, exchange, data-feed, custody or automatic execution function is claimed. |
| 2. CME Group Futures education and reference | Contract size, notional value and hedging concepts. | Use contract and notional concepts to check same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. Apply the exact crypto instrument's own specification before using a worksheet. | Educational references and listed futures are different from a crypto signal channel or a browser calculator. |
| 3. Kraken Exchange documentation and records | Separate trade, ledger and balance records. | Confirm the exact underlying and linear multiplier before treating two positions as quantity matched. | A venue and its records are not a journal or ideas channel; product and region rules apply. |
| 4. Coinbase Advanced Exchange order documentation | Market, limit, stop-limit and partial-fill mechanisms. | Order documentation helps distinguish conditions from execution. Review same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity against the supplied records; the documentation does not certify this file's result. | Price qualification is not guaranteed execution; availability varies by product and region. |
| 5. Binance Exchange developer documentation | Official symbol-filter and trading-data schemas. | Read the exact symbol or instrument schema when checking same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. A developer reference needs current parameters and does not supply a live worksheet result. | Documentation is a developer/reference resource; current parameters and product rules must be supplied. |
| 6. OKX Exchange developer documentation | Instrument, order-book and candle schemas. | Read the exact symbol or instrument schema when checking same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. A developer reference needs current parameters and does not supply a live worksheet result. | Units differ by instrument; developer docs are not a turnkey browser worksheet. |
| 7. Bybit Exchange contract documentation | Inverse P&L and settlement-coin explanation. | Use payout and contract-unit explanations to check same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. Do not carry one contract type's units into a different instrument. | Current product eligibility and specifications must be checked; no profit or liquidity ranking. |
| 8. BitMEX Exchange contract documentation | Inverse, linear and quanto payout specifications. | Use payout and contract-unit explanations to check same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. Do not carry one contract type's units into a different instrument. | Use the exact contract type and multiplier; different payouts are not interchangeable. |
| 9. Deribit Exchange contract documentation | Explicit inverse quote face-value and settlement units. | Use payout and contract-unit explanations to check same-underlying linear multipliers, contract steps and unmatched quantity. Do not carry one contract type's units into a different instrument. | Order amount and number of contracts can differ; current rules and eligibility remain venue-specific. |
| 10. Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet software | Own CSV tables and formulas with explicit import settings. | Calculate target base amount, round contract amount down by its step, and preserve both remainder measures. | Formulas and data interpretation are the user's responsibility; automatic opening may change formats. |
Put the comparison to work
Use spot quantity and a linear base-per-contract multiplier for the same underlying. Supply your own coverage percentage and contract step. Those are assumptions you choose; the page does not recommend an allocation or substitute an inverse contract specification.
A hypothetical 0.35 BTC spot quantity with 80% chosen coverage has a 0.28 BTC target. At 0.001 BTC per linear contract and a one-contract step, that is 280 short contracts. They cover 0.28 BTC, leaving 0.07 BTC spot residual and zero uncovered target. A larger step can leave a visible rounding remainder.

Covered refers to matched base quantity under the supplied linear multiplier. Basis changes, price references, execution, fees and funding can still affect the combined position. Rounding down avoids exceeding the chosen target and does not prove that the resulting pair is risk free.
