My position hasn’t changed, so why does my account balance get a little smaller every few hours?
Definition: Funding fees are settled at different intervals depending on the contract. Some settle every 8 hours, others every 4 hours. Always check the contract page for details.
How it works: When the contract price is higher than the spot price, the funding rate is usually positive, so long holders have to pay. This raises the cost of holding a long position and puts downward pressure on the contract price.
A quick look: $BTC is quoted at 83057.46, up 0.86% over 24h.
After a loss, don’t rush to double your position to make it back—you’ll often end up losing even more.
