$CT Latest funding rate: -0.254% (settled every 4 hours); shorts pay.
A question every beginner asks: What is the funding rate?
Perpetual contracts have no expiry date. The funding rate helps keep the contract price close to the spot price: longs and shorts periodically pay each other a fee.
When comparing rates, make sure they use the same settlement interval: for the same rate, a contract settled every hour will involve payments several times a day.
Sizing your position based on the stop-loss distance is much more reliable than guessing.
