How funding rates work

Perpetual funding mechanics

Funding costs become a visible part of position planning.

You hold perpetual positions through funding timestamps and then see unexpected charges or credits. You check rates manually and miss the exact window when payments settle. You size and hedge positions by rule of thumb, not by expected funding impact. Manual rebalances are slow and prone to execution slip, which changes your net payments.

Liquid Edge automates trading on the exchange account you already have.

  • Automate funding aware rebalancesBots run continuously using your exchange API keys to place hedge orders or rebalance position size near funding timestamps you set.
  • Adjust position sizing around fundingA deployed strategy monitors published funding indicators and changes new order sizes or hedges to alter net exposure and the stream of funding payments.
  • We never get withdrawal rights. Anywhere.On a perp DEX your funds sit in an isolated onchain vault only you can withdraw from. On a centralized exchange the exchange custodies them and we connect with API permissions limited to trading. Neither route lets Liquid Edge move your capital.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Liquid Edge different from other trading bots?

We focus on tailored strategy sets based on user risk profiles, proprietary execution logic, and consistent optimization from real market data.

Is my data or strategy visible to other users?

Your strategies are yours. Nothing you build is shared unless you choose to publish it, and running a template does not expose your parameters, sizing or account to anyone else.

What is the Institutional tier?

The Institutional Tier is designed for users deploying larger capital allocations who require expanded optionality and access to Liquid Edge's most advanced execution engines and algorithms. It enables participation in enhanced execution pathways, higher throughput infrastructure, and parameterized execution configurations optimized for operating at scale.

Does Liquid Edge offer other types of algorithms that are not shown on the website?

Yes, additional proprietary algorithms are available exclusively within the Institutional Tier.

What are "Engines" in Liquid Edge?

Liquid Edge operates a modular, multi-engine trading architecture designed to separate market intelligence, execution, risk enforcement, and adaptive optimization into independently governed systems. Each engine performs a constrained role and communicates through standardized interfaces, allowing the platform to adapt to changing market conditions continuously. The first of these to reach production was our automated rebalancing engine.
