# Funding Rate Optimizer Skill

**Category:** Trading  
**Inspired by:** Coinglass, Velo Data, Laevitas

## Overview

Maximize funding rate income on perpetual futures. Track funding across exchanges, find best rates, and automate delta-neutral funding harvesting strategies.

## Features

### 1. Funding Rate Dashboard
- **Real-Time Rates**: All exchanges, all pairs
- **Historical Data**: 30/60/90 day averages
- **Annualized Yield**: APY from funding alone
- **Next Funding**: Countdown timers
- **Rate Predictions**: ML-based forecasts

### 2. Exchange Comparison
- **Binance**: 8-hour funding
- **Bybit**: 8-hour funding
- **OKX**: 8-hour funding
- **dYdX**: 1-hour funding
- **GMX/GNS**: Real-time funding
- **Hyperliquid**: 1-hour funding

### 3. Funding Strategies
- **Cash & Carry**: Spot long + perp short
- **Cross-Exchange**: Long on low, short on high
- **Directional Bias**: Harvest + trend trade
- **Stablecoin Yield**: Fund rate on stables

### 4. Delta-Neutral Automation
- **Auto-Hedge**: Open spot position to offset perp
- **Rebalance**: Keep delta near zero
- **Basis Tracking**: Monitor spot-perp spread
- **Liquidation Guard**: Safe margin management
- **Profit Taking**: Compound or withdraw

### 5. Risk Management
- **Funding Rate Flip Alert**: When rate changes sign
- **Liquidation Distance**: Monitor margin safety
- **Correlation Check**: Ensure hedge effectiveness
- **Max Position Size**: Per pair limits
- **Stop Loss**: Exit if strategy unprofitable
