Let’s talk with everyone—I check the funding rate before I open any position.
For example, for $CTSI right now: -0.988%, meaning shorts receive funding; annualized, that’s about 1082.3%.
When the funding rate is pushed this low, going long/short (chasing the short side) is basically paying the long side every period, and you also have to withstand a rebound—so I generally don’t sign up for that kind of excitement.
How do you choose between longs and shorts?
