Market Notes | $AIN | Funding rate +0.104% | Longs pay
Definition: Only positions held at the settlement time are included in funding payments; positions closed before settlement are not affected.
How to read it: The further the funding rate deviates from normal, the more crowded one side’s positions are. If the price moves in the opposite direction, the risk of cascading stop-losses is also higher.
Keep extra margin for futures positions so a sudden price swing doesn’t force you out of your position.
Not a buy or sell signal.
