💸 FUNDING on Binance — money that traders pay EACH OTHER (and how to take it for yourself)

If you are trading futures and do not understand funding — you are already paying smart traders.

Let's break it down in 60 seconds ⏱️

⸻

❓ What is funding

Funding is a fee between traders, not the exchange.

Every 8 hours one side pays the other so that the futures price does not stray from the spot price.

• Funding + → longs pay, shorts receive

• Funding − → shorts pay, longs receive

The exchange (Binance) is just an intermediary.

⸻

🧠 Why is this important

You can:

• ❌ Enter a trade and slowly lose money, even if the price stays the same

• ✅ Or earn from funding, even without strong price movement

⸻

⚡️ How professionals interact with it

1️⃣ Check funding BEFORE entering

Strong +funding = market overheated, crowd in longs

Strong −funding = panic, crowd in shorts

2️⃣ Use funding as a signal

Extreme funding often → reversal or crowd liquidation

3️⃣ Take funding consciously

Sometimes a position is held for payouts, not for price movement

⸻

🔥 Main rule

The price can lie.

Funding always shows where the crowd stands and who pays for it.
