#Funding ing For those who are wondering whether there is an additional fee for "holding" an order for a long time.

"Holding Futures (FT) for a long time" may incur some fees, depending on the trading platform you use, but the most common are:

1. Funding Fee:

This is a periodic fee (usually every 8 hours) between Long and Short.

If you hold an order for a long time through many funding frames, you may have to pay or receive a fee, depending on your position (Long or Short) and the funding rate at that time.

For example:

If you are Long and the funding rate is positive, you have to pay a fee to the Short.

If you are Short and the funding rate is negative, you have to pay a fee to the Long.

2. Trading fee:

This fee is only charged when you open or close an order, regardless of the order holding time.

It does not affect if you hold an order for a long time, unless you enter/exit many times.

3. Opportunity cost and market risk:

Holding orders for too long without a specific plan can easily lead to SL being wiped out or losing other opportunities.

In short:

If you hold orders through multiple funding rounds (every 8 hours), funding fees can be significant, especially if the order volume is large.

If the funding rate is high or volatile, consider closing orders early or managing orders properly to avoid losing a lot of fees.
