Comparing Perpetual Futures Funding Rates Across Exchanges
Summary
This document describes a live dashboard for comparing funding rates across Binance, Huobi, OKEX, Gate, and Bybit. It gathers rates for symbols quoted in USDT, converts them to percentage values, associates rates with symbols, and displays each venue's rate alongside a per-symbol average. The dashboard refreshes repeatedly and builds the average from venues that returned a rate for that symbol.
The useful idea is a simple cross-exchange view of funding costs that can help traders identify differences between venues. The document provides implementation details but no historical analysis, trading rules, or performance evidence. Coverage depends on successful API responses and symbol normalization, and differences in exchange funding schedules or contract specifications may make a plain arithmetic average misleading. The displayed comparison alone does not account for fees, liquidity, execution, or the risks of taking offsetting positions.
Key ideas
- The dashboard collects funding rates for matching symbols from five derivatives venues.
- It converts the collected rates into percentage values for display.
- For each symbol, it computes an arithmetic average across venues with available data.
- The comparison omits funding schedules, contract differences, fees, liquidity, and strategy performance evidence.
