What do you know about Funding rate strategy

Quick question to traders :

let me ask you  ,has anyone here used funding rates as a standalone trading system, in crypto or forex ? i don't mean  as an indicator, but as a real edge for entries, bias, or hedging. if yes i am curious to hear real results, not theory ..

Based on my experience, "funding rates" are commonly known as "swap rates" or "rollover rates" in spot forex. Hopefully, this additional terminology will get some forex traders to contribute to this thread.
 

Exactly,  Do you know that  with a simple calculation, we can trade this by using an arbitrage strategy  directly after taking a trade a few seconds before the market close  , this strategy should to cover the gap at the market open !!
People have just to check the Nasdaq or gold proprieties  and they will be surprised by how high the swap value can be  ,

but in crypto, it’s completely different from forex, It requires high-frequency orders to catch the move at the exact moment,  and we’re talking about millisecond-level execution trades
