BitMEX Alpha: No FOMO, Just Funding Rates

This time around, we’re going to talk funding rates. With the recent market rally, funding rates have reached all-time highs – which means more goldmines of basis trading opportunities. The contracts listed below have high funding rates (where longs pay shorts every eight hours), meaning that traders who short these contracts should receive a relatively larger sum of funding payments. Important: Keep track of the tokens’ funding rates here . Unwind the trade(s) when you believe funding rates will turn negative for an extended period of time.
