Question 1

How is the funding fee calculated?

Accepted Answer

Funding = position size × funding rate, charged each interval (usually every 8 hours). A 0.01% rate on a $10,000 position is $1 per payment, three times a day. Longs pay when funding is positive, shorts pay when it is negative.

Question 2

Why does funding matter for holding positions?

Accepted Answer

Because it accrues continuously. A small rate looks trivial but compounds across many payments — holding a leveraged long through weeks of positive funding can cost more than the fees to open and close. It is a real carrying cost.
