Methodology

Funding Rate: The funding rate indicator monitors the 8-hour funding payments on perpetual futures. Extreme funding rates (high Z-score) historically predict mean-reversion in the funding rate and correlated short-term price moves. This indicator generates contrarian signals at funding extremes.

Backtest Parameters:

  • Period: 90 days of 1-minute data from Hyperliquid
  • Signal: funding_rate from the Algo Tick API
  • Position sizing: Fixed 1x leverage, no compounding
  • Execution: Market orders at next bar open, 0.05% slippage + 0.02% fees
  • Risk: Stop-loss at 2x ATR, take-profit at 3x ATR
