FTX Funding Rates
Indexes updated: 2021-07-27
This study tries to estimate the FTX funding rate using historical data and index definitions provided by FTX. The funding rate calculated is not exactly the same as FTX reports due to underlying limitations in TV.
Limitations
1. TWAP
FTX calculates the index price by TWAP which is average every 5s over the the whole hour. As far as I know, it's not possible to do this in Tradingview.
2. Change in INDEX definition
If a definition of an index changes in FTX, then this script is of course not up-to-date. Also, if a security is added to an index, then the historical funding rate will also change, even though said security wasn't apart of the past funding rate.
3. Supported tickers
The supported tickers are: BTC, ETH, SOL, ALGO, SAND, CLV and AXS

Please send me a message if there seems to be an issue, FTX index's are constantly changing and I don't have the time to check every single perp for errors :)
FYI!!
Past data for funding is not accurate! I.e, if funding was negative for example on 21. January 2020 it might actually have been positive at that time, it's just that the underlying index has changed, which affects the past calculations as well.

Please note!
On the FTX Index site they state that "All elements are capped at 30bp divergence from the median" - I am not doing this step, so there is going to be more variations in this funding indicator vs theirs.
I don't use BITTREX TUSD
- Added newest index data from FTX.
- Added BTC and ETH pairs for funding calculation (Previously only USD pairs where available)

Versionshinweise:
Fix missing values when looking very far back (Will only give approximate values here, FTX hasn't been around long)
Versionshinweise:
Reverted the fix - This will only show funding for the time-range of FTX - Maybe I can create a fix for the future later.
Versionshinweise:
Remove graphics from chart - This part is annoying..

Removed Coinbase from index (Some price issues seems to be going on there, showing 19k BTC when FTX is showing 20k)
Versionshinweise:
- Removed all Coinbase USDC pairs (Coinbase merged all USD and USDC pairs)
Versionshinweise:
