Funding, without the crypto jargon

The hourly payment between longs and shorts: why it exists, who pays, and what it costs.

A perpetual contract never expires, so something has to keep its price close to the real share. That something is funding: a small payment every hour between people who are long and people who are short.

Moveintrade mirrors the hourly rate of the reference market, charges it at the top of each hour, and takes it from (or adds it to) the position's margin.

Position₹1,00,000
× Hourly rate0.01%
= Per hour₹10

₹10 an hour is ₹240 a day if the rate stays there. Rates change every hour and can flip sign, so check the "funding / next" figure on the ticket before holding a big position for days.

Your Portfolio shows funding paid and received, by day.
