BitMEX Funding Toolbox [NeoButane]

9. Sept. 2018

BitMEX's funding rates as described on their website.

Usage of the indicator:

Cumulative funding is a running sum of funding, similar to OBV. The idea is that funding can be used to predict current sentiment or market direction. The blue line is cumulative funding and the orange is a MVWAP used as a signal to determine current trend. Longs are paid when the blue line is going down.

Cumulative funding oscillator is the running sum of funding but made to be able to discern more recent trends.

Funding rate and premium index is as the name states.

The indicator will auto-select XBTUSD or ETHUSD depending which ticker is currently being viewed; if it is not on bitcoin or ethereum it defaults to XBTUSD funding.
