Description:
This indicator calculates an estimated funding rate for perpetual futures contracts on Binance. The funding rate is derived from the premium index, reflecting the difference between the perpetual futures price and the spot market price, with an assumed constant interest rate.
Key Features:
Dynamic Symbol Detection: Automatically adapts to the base and quote currencies of the current chart, making it compatible with most Binance trading pairs that support both spot and perpetual markets.
Customizable Timeframes: Supports multiple timeframes, with a default recommendation of 4 hours to align with Binance's funding intervals.
Real-Time Data: Fetches live spot and perpetual prices to calculate the premium index and estimate funding rates in real time.
Error Handling: Displays alerts and highlights invalid data if the pair lacks spot or perpetual market information, ensuring clarity for the user.
Use Case:
This indicator is designed to help traders:
Track market sentiment through funding rates.
Identify opportunities for arbitrage or hedging between spot and perpetual markets.
Monitor trends in funding rates to complement technical analysis and refine entry/exit decisions.
How It Works:
The script dynamically identifies the spot and perpetual futures symbols for the selected chart.
It calculates the premium index as the percentage difference between the perpetual and spot prices.
Combines the premium index with an assumed interest rate (default: 0.01% per 8 hours) to estimate the funding rate.
How to Use:
Apply the indicator to any Binance trading pair chart.
Set the timeframe to align with your trading strategy (e.g., 4-hour for swing trading or 5-minute for scalping).
Observe the plotted funding rate to assess market sentiment:
Positive values indicate a long bias (longs pay shorts).
Negative values indicate a short bias (shorts pay longs).
Important Notes:
This is an estimated funding rate based on available data. For exact values, refer to Binance directly.
Funding rates are updated every 8 hours on Binance, so aligning with 4-hour charts is optimal.
Ensure both spot and perpetual data are available for the chosen pair.
This indicator is open-source and serves as a valuable tool for traders seeking deeper insights into funding dynamics on Binance. Happy trading! 🚀
