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.
