📉 “Why is my profit less than expected?”
Many traders get confused when sudden deductions show up in their PnL — the reason? The famous funding fee! 😈💥
But let’s clear the air:
🕵️♂️ Binance isn’t taking your money!
➡️ These aren’t platform charges — it’s a trader-to-trader system, applied every 8 hours (00:00, 08:00, 16:00 UTC).
🎢 Why Do These Fees Spike?
1. 🔼 When long positions dominate → longs pay shorts.
2. 💰 Futures price goes too far from spot → premium triggers higher fees.
3. 🚀 Hype tokens like $PEPE, $SUI, $TAO = wild funding swings.
⚠️ Heads-Up for Futures Traders:
Holding large positions through funding rounds?
That could slowly drain your profits even if the trade looks green on the chart.
🧠 Pro Trader Checklist:
✅ Always check the funding rate before opening trades.
✅ Avoid over-leveraging on hype or volatile coins.
✅ Prefer short scalps — exit before next funding time.
✅ Funding against you? Flip your bias — but only with strong technical confirmation.
✅ Or go smart: trade against the crowd and earn the funding instead.
🎯 Final Take:
Funding fees can either eat your gains — or boost your earnings if used wisely.
Know the system, plan ahead, and level up your futures strategy.
