Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot

Harvest perp funding rates with delta-neutral positioning

⚠ Risk disclaimer: Trading FX, gold, and crypto carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. This is a software license, not financial advice — no profit guarantee. Past performance, backtests, and demos do not predict future results. Test on a demo account first.
A Python bot for the classic delta-neutral funding trade: long spot, short perpetual futures, collect the funding rate while price exposure nets to ~zero. Scans funding rates across exchanges, flags opportunities above your threshold, and manages the paired positions. Market-neutral by design — but not risk-free: execution slippage, funding flips and exchange risk are all documented so you know exactly what you're running.

What's included

  • Cross-exchange funding-rate scanning
  • Delta-neutral pair management (spot + perp)
  • Configurable entry threshold and position limits
  • Documented risks: funding flips, slippage, exchange exposure
  • Python source — audit and extend freely

Deployment guide

How to set up

A safe first-run walkthrough — required inputs, supported brokers, and the checklist we ask every trader to complete before going live.

Runtime

Python 3.11+ · always-on VPS (funding windows are UTC 00:00 / 08:00 / 16:00)

Supported exchanges / brokers
  • Binance Futures + Binance Spot (delta-neutral leg)
  • Bybit Perp + Bybit Spot
  • OKX Perp + OKX Spot
Required inputs

Exchange API keys (spot + perp)

Required

Both legs on the same exchange to avoid transfer risk.

Min funding rate threshold

Default 0.01% per 8h (roughly 10% APR). Skip anything smaller.

Max notional per pair

Cap in USDT. Prevents oversized delta-neutral exposure.

Rebalance drift %

Re-hedges if spot/perp delta drifts past this. Default 2%.

Safe first-run checklist
  1. 1Understand that funding can flip negative — the bot exits, but you eat the flip.
  2. 2Test on Binance testnet first; confirm both legs fill within 500ms of each other.
  3. 3Start with $500–1,000 notional per pair. Scale linearly with observed reliability.
  4. 4Whitelist API keys by IP. Withdrawal permission stays OFF on both keys.
  5. 5Reserve 20% of capital as a liquidation buffer on the perp leg — never run maxed margin.

See RUNBOOK.md for the daily monitoring checklist.
