DEEP DIVE INTO FUNDING RATE (Series 1)

What is a funding rate, and why should it matter to you on dYdX?

It’s not a platform fee.. 
It’s a peer-to-peer payment system between long and short traders, designed to keep the perpetual price in line with the spot.

When perp trades deviate too far from spot, funding rate steps in as a balancing force.

This isn’t just technical, it’s psychological.
It reflects what traders really feel.

Bullish?, Bearish?,... Funding reveals the bias.

Smart traders don’t just trade the price, they read the funding.
  
Ignore it, and you’re probably flying blind in a data-driven market.
