How Funding Works
Rate Calculation
Funding rate is calculated based on the difference between perpetual price and spot price index.
Payment Schedule
Payments occur every 8 hours at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00 UTC. You must hold a position at these times.
Direction of Payment
When funding is positive, longs pay shorts. When negative, shorts pay longs.
Funding Rate Strategies
Earn Funding Payments
When funding is positive, short positions receive payments. Consider shorting during high positive funding to collect payments while hedging with spot.
Avoid High Funding Costs
Close positions before funding if rates are unfavorable, or switch to quarterly contracts for long-term positions to avoid funding altogether.
Key Takeaways
Funding rate keeps perpetual prices close to spot through periodic payments.
Positive funding = longs pay shorts (bullish sentiment). Negative = shorts pay longs.
Factor funding costs into your trading plan, especially for longer holds.
Extreme funding rates can signal market tops or bottoms.
