Roll Schedules

Nexus perpetuals do not expire, so there is no roll schedule.

There is no roll schedule, because Nexus perpetual futures do not expire.

A roll schedule exists on a venue whose contracts have a fixed expiry: positions must be closed or rolled into the next contract before the current one settles. Nexus lists perpetuals — they trade continuously with no expiry and no daily settlement window, and a position can be held indefinitely so long as it stays above its maintenance margin requirement.

What replaces the roll economically is funding: instead of converging on an expiry price, the perpetual is tethered to its index by periodic funding payments between longs and shorts. That is the mechanism to read if you are looking for the cost of carrying a position over time — see Funding Rates.

Two related things that are not roll schedules but are sometimes confused with them:

  • Force-settlement. A market being delisted is settled at a pre-committed rule rather than rolled. That rule is a per-market parameter set when the market is listed.

  • Session breaks. Some non-crypto markets are configured against exchange hours rather than 24/7 — see the Asset Directory. A session break is not a roll and does not settle a position.
