Just saw: $CTK ’s latest funding rate is -0.516% (settled every 4 hours), so shorts pay.
People often ask what the funding rate means. Here’s how I understand it.
Funding fees are deducted from your margin or added to your balance. The longer you hold a position, the more noticeable the cumulative impact becomes.
The funding rate should usually be considered alongside open interest and price: when the rate is high and open interest surges, leverage is often more pronounced.
Don’t chase trades during the fastest-moving minutes. Wait for the price to stabilize before deciding.
