If you are holding a position with a high funding rate but do not want to pay the rate.

You can choose to do "rate hedging"

Which means opening an equal but opposite position before the funding rate settlement.

Most major exchanges, such as OKX, have the function of holding positions in both directions.

One thing to consider is the issue of transaction fees, but if you are entering and exiting with limit orders, plus the fee discounts, it basically won't be higher than the funding rate you need to pay.

However, it is not recommended to hold positions; if you need to take a loss, take it. You might hold on for 9 times, but you won't be able to hold on for the 10th time, and it could be the end.
