$GTC ｜Funding rate -0.18%｜Shorts pay
Before looking at positions, understand funding rates.
The annualized rate simply converts the rate for this period into an annual figure. The rate changes every period, so don’t treat it as the actual cost for a year.
Funding rates are usually best viewed alongside open interest and price: when the rate is high and open interest rises sharply, leverage is typically higher.
Keep enough margin for your contract positions. Don’t let a single wick liquidate your position.
Markets change in an instant, so don’t rush to conclusions.
