Which exchanges do funding rate alerts cover?

Threshold, flip, spike and periodic alerts each watch one pair on a venue you pick: Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin, HTX or BingX. Spread compares a coin's funding across all eight venues CoinBeacon tracks, OKX included, and the funding rate scanner covers the same eight.

Can I get an alert when funding flips negative?

Yes. Pick Flip in the alert builder (it needs a free account). The direction comes from the current rate: while funding is positive the alert waits for it to turn negative, when longs stop paying and start earning, and the other way round. Rates are read every minute, so it fires within about a minute of the published rate crossing 0%, then again once per cooldown while it stays on the new side.

How is a funding spike alert different from a threshold alert?

A threshold alert watches an absolute level, like +0.05%. A spike alert watches speed: it fires when funding moves 2–5× within a window you set, from 10 minutes to 4 hours, in either direction or only when longs or shorts are crowding in.

Can I get alerted to a funding spread between exchanges?

Yes, that is what the spread mode does. It compares one coin's funding across all eight venues and fires when the gap between the highest and lowest rate clears the APR threshold you set. Point it at a single perp you already trade, or run it in any-coin mode to catch the widest gaps in the market.

How often will a funding rate alert notify me?

That is up to the cooldown you set. Threshold, flip and spike alerts are checked every minute, and while the condition holds they alert again after every cooldown. A spread alert can instead switch itself off after its first alert. Periodic mode simply sends on the schedule you pick.

Can I get the funding rate on a schedule instead of a trigger?

Yes. Periodic mode has no condition: it reads the funding rate on the pairs you name at the interval you choose. It is the mode to use while carrying a position across settlements, when you want the number in front of you rather than a surprise.

Are funding rate alerts free?

Yes. Every alert type, including funding rate alerts, is on the free plan: 5 active alerts, 10 notifications a day and all four delivery channels. No credit card or exchange API keys are needed.

Where do funding rate alerts get delivered?

To any of CoinBeacon's four channels: email, Telegram, Discord or a JSON webhook into your own tooling. The watching happens on CoinBeacon's servers, so nothing needs to stay open on your side. There are no SMS or phone-call notifications.

Features

Funding rate alerts

Every perpetual future settles a funding payment between longs and shorts. CoinBeacon watches that rate on 8 futures venues and alerts you in five ways (a level reached, a flip through zero, a 2–5× spike, a cross-exchange spread or a scheduled reading) by email, Telegram, Discord or webhook.

Five ways to watch the funding rate

A perpetual future never expires. Instead, longs and shorts settle a funding payment at fixed intervals. When one side crowds the trade, the rate climbs; when sentiment turns, it crosses zero. Each of those moments is a condition you can set an alert on.

Threshold

Fires when funding on your venue reaches the level you set, in the direction you choose. It is checked every minute, and alerts again after every cooldown while the rate stays past your level.

any level · above or below · checked every minute

Flip

Alerts when funding changes sign and the paying side switches. The direction comes from the current rate, so a positive rate waits for negative and the other way round, and it repeats once per cooldown while the rate stays on the new side. Needs a free account.

0% · direction from the current rate · signed in

Spike

Watches speed instead of level: funding moving 2–5× within 10 minutes to 4 hours. Pick the direction: longs crowding in, shorts crowding in, or either side cooling off.

2–5× multiplier · 10m–4h window · direction-aware

Spread (cross-exchange)

Compares one coin's funding across all 8 venues and fires when the gap between the highest and lowest rate clears your APR threshold, the starting point of a funding-arbitrage trade. Point it at one coin, or at any coin in the market.

The alert fires once the rate is at or past your level (reaching it exactly counts), then again every 1 hour while the rate stays past it.

How to set a funding rate alert

01Pick the perpetual and the venueName the pair you trade, such as BTCUSDT, on Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin, HTX or BingX. The builder shows the current funding rate and the countdown to the next settlement while you work.
02Choose one of the five modesThreshold for a level reached, flip for a change of sign, spike for a sudden 2–5× move, spread for the gap between venues, or periodic for a scheduled reading with no trigger at all. Each mode asks only for what it needs.
03Set the number and the channelA rate like +0.05% for a threshold; a flip needs no number. A multiplier and a window from 10 minutes to 4 hours for a spike. An APR gap for a spread. Then pick the channel: email, Telegram, Discord or a JSON webhook.
04Set the cooldown and saveThe cooldown sets how often the alert can repeat while its condition holds. The check itself runs every minute on CoinBeacon's servers, so nothing has to stay open.

Common uses

Catch the funding flip on a perpetual

When funding crosses zero, the side that pays switches. A flip alert tells you within about a minute of the published rate changing sign, instead of you noticing it two settlements later. The funding rate scanner shows the same eight venues on one board if you'd rather read it yourself.

Funding arbitrage between exchanges

The same perp rarely funds at the same rate everywhere. A spread alert compares all eight venues and fires when the gap clears your APR threshold, the starting point of a funding-arbitrage trade. Route it to a JSON webhook if the gap needs to reach your own tooling rather than your inbox.

Spot crowded positioning before it unwinds

Funding climbing hard in one direction means one side is crowded and paying for it. A spike alert flags the crowding as it builds; pairing it with liquidation alerts tells you when that positioning actually gets flushed. Neither is a forecast; they are two readings of the same market.

Carry a position across settlements

Holding a perp for days means paying or collecting funding every few hours. Periodic mode sends the rate on your pairs at an interval you choose, with no condition attached: the funding-rate counterpart to scheduled price updates. Use it to know the cost of the carry before it surprises you.
