Funding Rate Time Filter

The "Funding Rate Time" filter (Funding Filter) controls algorithm operation depending on the Funding Rate value and time before/after the funding event.

Availability: Only on USDT-M and COIN-M markets.

Purpose: Helps set trading parameters considering volatility caused by funding rate payment.


Filter Parameters

Action

Choose what the algorithm should do when conditions are met:

Run Algorithm operates if the funding rate matches the specified parameters.

Pause Algorithm forcibly stops within the specified range.


Rate

Set the Funding Rate value range in percentages.

How it works: "Rate" sets the range of values within which the funding rate must be for the algorithm to run or stop.

Example: If you set a range from -0.1% to 0.1%, the action will be executed only on pairs with funding rate in this range.


Time Range

Determines the time window before and after the funding event when the selected action is applied.

Parameters:

  • Before event: number of seconds before funding payment

  • After event: number of seconds after funding payment

How it works: "Time Range" displays the amount of time before and after the funding rate payment respectively. If time exceeds the specified values, the corresponding action will be executed with the algorithm.

Example: Values 60s / 60s mean: the algorithm will start (or stop) 60 seconds before funding and remain in this state for 60 seconds after.


Usage Example

Stopping Algorithm Near Funding Event

Settings:

  • Action: Pause

  • Rate: from -0.1% to 0.1%

  • Time Range: 60s / 60s

Result: If the funding rate is in the range from -0.1% to 0.1%, the algorithm will stop 60 seconds before funding payment and resume operation 60 seconds after.

Why: Avoid trading during high volatility near the funding event.


Why This Filter is Needed

Volatility Management: Avoid trading near funding events when increased volatility may occur.

Fee Control: Stop the algorithm before funding payment to avoid unexpected fees on open positions.

Optimal Conditions Selection: Trade only on markets with an acceptable funding rate level matching your strategy.
