Two ways to get funding rate alerts: join the Telegram channel for real-time pushes, or subscribe by email for a daily digest of the day’s biggest funding rate movers and arb opportunities.
Telegram Channel
Real-time funding rate alerts pushed to your Telegram. The channel posts:
- Funding rate spikes above +/-0.05% per 8h on any major contract
- Cross-exchange arb opportunities with spread > 0.01% per 8h
- Daily summary at 00:05 UTC with the day’s top 5 movers
If the link doesn’t open in the Telegram app, copy the handle: @fundingalertss
Email Digest
A short daily email at 00:30 UTC summarizing the previous 24 hours of funding-rate action:
- Top 10 funding rate movers (most positive, most negative)
- Top 5 cross-exchange arb opportunities (with spread and APR)
- One-sentence read on the day’s market context (Fear & Greed, BTC dominance, etc.)
How the alerts are generated
Every 2 minutes, a server-side snapshot endpoint pulls funding rates and 24h tickers from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, Bitget, Gate.io, and Kraken Futures. Anything that crosses the thresholds above is queued for posting to the channel. The Telegram bot is rate-limited to one message per 30 seconds to avoid spam, so during high-volatility periods a backlog may compress into fewer, denser messages.
The email digest is generated at 00:00 UTC daily from the same data source, then queued for delivery. We use a simple opt-in model — your email is only used to send the digest and never shared with third parties. See the privacy policy for details.
What is funding rate?
Funding is the periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders in a perpetual futures contract. When funding is positive, longs pay shorts. When negative, shorts pay longs. The rate is set by the difference between the mark price and the index price, dampened by an interest rate component. Funding spikes often signal crowded positioning, liquidation cascades, or shifts in market sentiment. For the full explanation, see the Funding 101 guide and the methodology page.
What you’ll get vs. what you won’t
You’ll get funding rate alerts and cross-exchange arb opportunities, with a focus on the contracts that move the needle. You will not get: price predictions, signal spam, “to the moon” hype, or affiliate pitches. We do this for the data nerds, not the noise merchants.
