The funding edge.
Costs included.
A market-neutral crypto research harness: long spot, short perp, collect funding. Every fee, every slip, every number published.
Three moves. No market call.
- 01
Funding is positive
Leverage demand on the majors is persistently long, so perps pay shorts most days.
- 02
Hedge the price
Long spot, short perp, equal notional. Price cancels; funding accrues.
- 03
Rebalance slowly
Daily churn bleeds the edge to costs. Weekly or biweekly keeps it.
Everything published. Nothing sold.
Backtest
Gross vs. net, cadence sweep, out-of-sample split.
Live funding
Current rates across the majors, two venues, spread.
Estimator
Illustrative: what past funding rates would have paid after a cost haircut.
