Funding Rate Farming

Strategy: Hold positions where funding rates pay you.

Negative funding = shorts pay longs (hold LONG to collect)
Positive funding = longs pay shorts (hold SHORT to collect)

Find opportunities:

./scripts/orderly-markets.sh --sort funding | head -10

Funding Rate Farming Strategy

I use this skill to farm funding rates. Here's my approach:

Scan for negative funding rates (shorts pay longs)
```
./scripts/funding-scanner.sh
```

Open long position on pair with extreme negative funding

node scripts/orderly-trade.mjs PERP_SPX500_USDC BUY 0.002

Track payments (settle every 8 hours at 00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC)
```
node scripts/orderly-funding-history.mjs --alert
```
Generate performance reports
```
./scripts/funding-report.sh
```

My Results: Running SPX500 long at ~200% APR (leveraged), collecting ~$0.025 per 8h settlement.
