$AGT ｜Funding rate +0.0686%｜Longs pay
Before discussing funding, let's first understand funding rates.
When the funding rate is positive, traders holding long positions pay those holding short positions; when it's negative, the direction is reversed, and traders holding short positions pay those holding long positions.
A significantly positive rate is generally seen as a sign that bullish sentiment is running hot and many traders are using leverage to go long; a notably negative rate suggests the opposite.
Size your position based on the distance to your stop-loss—it's much steadier than placing orders on a whim.
