Funding Rate Arbitrage

Performance Metrics

Key metrics include Sharpe ratio, maximum drawdown, win rate, profit factor, and average trade duration. Compare against baseline strategies and adjust parameters based on out-of-sample results.

Overview

This guide covers funding rate arbitrage implementation in automated trading systems. The approach combines established patterns with operational considerations drawn from production deployments.

Code Structure

The code structure separates concerns: data ingestion, signal generation, risk checks, and order submission. This modularity enables testing and reuse across strategies.

Testing Approach

Testing funding rate arbitrage includes unit tests for signal logic, integration tests for exchange interaction, and backtests against historical data with realistic slippage modeling.

Implementation

Implementation of funding rate arbitrage follows a modular architecture. Configuration files define parameters, strategy modules handle logic, and exchange adapters manage execution.
