What is a funding rate?
The funding rate is a small recurring payment exchanged between long and short traders on perpetual futures (usually every 8 hours). It keeps the perpetual price tethered to the underlying spot price. When the perp trades above spot, funding is positive and longs pay shorts; when it trades below, funding is negative and shorts pay longs.
How to read crowded funding
High positive funding means the market is heavily long and longs are paying a premium to stay in - a classic sign of crowded longs. If price stalls, those longs can get squeezed, and the funding cost alone eats into the trade. Strongly negative funding means the opposite: crowded shorts paying to stay short, which can fuel a sharp short squeeze higher. Traders use funding extremes to fade over-positioned crowds or to size down when funding is working against them.
Funding cost adds up
At high leverage the funding cost compounds quickly. Pair this scanner with the technical screener to time entries, watch live liquidations to see where leverage is getting flushed, and use the position-size calculator to keep funding from quietly draining your account.
