💰 I Made $218 Just by Holding a LONG Position – With a $2,000 Trade! 😲📈

$

Yes, you read that right.

I earned $218 just by holding a long position — even though the trade was deep in the red! No need for the price to go up. No need to close the trade. I got paid passively every 8 hours. 📆💸

Welcome to the world of negative funding fees in crypto perpetual futures.

⸻

🔍 Here’s what happened:

• Exchange: Binance & Bybit

• Token: AIOZ/USDT

• Position size: ~$2,000

• Leverage: 10x

• Funding rate: Around -0.03% every 8 hours

• Holding period: Several months

• Funding earned: $218+ USDT

• Unrealized P&L: Still negative — but funding offset most of it!

💡 Why did this work?

When funding is negative, it means the majority of traders are shorting. To balance the market, shorts pay longs at set intervals. If you’re long during these periods, you get paid — regardless of price direction.

So even as the market dipped, I stayed long and let the funding payments stack up. 📥

🧠 Takeaway:

You don’t always need to win on price — sometimes, just being positioned right earns you passive income.
