Funding Rate Arbitrage Assistant

Monitor, evaluate, and operate a funding rate arbitrage strategy for crypto perpetual swaps. Use when the user asks to check funding-rate arbitrage opportunities, review current arbitrage positions, decide whether to open or close hedged positions, summarize funding-rate strategy rules, or package a funding-rate arbitrage workflow into a reusable operating guide.

Funding Rate Arbitrage

Use this skill for crypto perpetual funding-rate arbitrage workflows where the goal is to collect funding while controlling directional exposure.

Quick Start

When using this skill:

1. Confirm the venue and account mode first.
2. Pull live funding-rate and position data before giving advice.
3. Use exchange-returned fields for position value and PnL; do not hand-wave calculations.
4. Apply the strategy rules in references/strategy.md.
5. If the user asks to publish or productize the strategy, use references/clawhub-listing.md.

Operating Workflow

1. Confirm context

Collect or confirm:

• exchange (Binance / OKX / other)
• live or demo / paper mode
• current open positions and pending orders
• whether the user wants monitoring, candidate selection, open, or close decisions

2. Read current market/account state

For live decision support, always gather:

• candidate instruments and current funding rates
• current open positions
• unrealized and realized PnL
• margin usage / leverage / liquidation risk when available

If the user wants execution guidance, do not rely on stale notes alone.

3. Apply strategy rules

Use the rules in references/strategy.md for:

• entry threshold
• position count cap
• nominal size target
• close conditions
• duplicate-order avoidance
• pre-settlement timing

4. Produce one of these outputs

Depending on the request, return one of these:

• Opportunity summary: which symbols qualify and why
• Position review: current positions, funding direction, PnL, and whether they still fit rules
• Action plan: open / hold / close / skip with concrete reasons
• Productized summary: concise explanation suitable for docs, listing pages, or client delivery

Hard Rules

• Treat all financial calculations as high-stakes.
• Prefer exchange API fields over manual calculations.
• Distinguish spot, swap, futures, and options before interpreting values.
• If a platform returns a direct notional or USD value field, use that field.
• If data is incomplete or conflicting, stop and say what is missing.
• For live execution requests, restate the action clearly before placing or modifying orders.

References

• Read references/strategy.md for the current strategy rules and risk controls.
