How to read it: If funding is 0.05% on HL but -0.02% on Binance, there's a spread. Longs on HL are paying more than usual, which could signal a crowded long that may revert.

Pro Tips

  1. Check the order book before large trades - Thin books mean more slippage on market orders

  2. Monitor funding before holding overnight - Funding can significantly eat into profits or boost returns

  3. Use cross-venue funding for alpha - Large spreads between HL and Binance/Bybit often revert

  4. Sort by open interest for sentiment - High OI with high funding signals a crowded trade that could unwind

  5. Check volume before trading altcoin perps - Low volume assets may have wider spreads and more slippage

  6. Use candle data to set entries - Historical support/resistance levels help with limit order placement
