Funding rates

Funding is most useful when it is ranked across the market

A positive or negative funding rate does not mean much in isolation. Aegium compares funding pressure across the liquid perps, then checks whether crowded positioning is being rewarded or punished by flow.

Built for traders who care about positioning, crowding and carry.

Funding is a positioning tax

Perpetual futures use funding to keep contract prices anchored to spot. When one side is crowded, that side often pays. Aegium uses that as a market structure input rather than a simple long/short trigger.

Carry can be edge, crowding can be risk

A high-funding long can still work when flow and momentum are strong. A negative-funding short can still be dangerous if the squeeze pressure is building. The dashboard makes those tradeoffs visible in the same cross-sectional view.

How it fits the desk

Funding is one of the inputs the ranking is built on, and a live market-neutral engine trades that ranking in the open, marked hourly. So funding is judged by realized behavior on a public track record, not by a neat theory chart.

Questions traders usually ask

Can I trade funding rates alone?

You can, but Aegium does not treat funding as enough. It is stronger when paired with flow, momentum, liquidity and observed book performance.

Does Aegium show what funding does to live performance?

Yes, at portfolio level. The public track record shows the live paper engines' whole history, marked hourly; a free account adds where each one stands inside its backtest cone.
