Recently studying contract arbitrage, I found that this approach can indeed stabilize trades.

Let's start with the core logic: choose coins with particularly high funding rates (FLOW, ONT, 0G are all good options), and use the rate difference between long and short positions to harvest profits—each time you can earn roughly 50 to 200 USDT, depending on your position size and closing speed. As long as the funding rate covers the opening cost, even in extreme market crashes, the arbitrage profit still hits your account.

**What do you need to do arbitrage?**

First, you need an account on a major exchange (transparency in fees and a stable trading environment are most important), then prepare a capital of 50 to 300 USDT—different projects have different opening limits. The network environment should be decent; avoid constant lag.

**How to find opportunities?**

Enter the exchange's contract section, use the filtering function to find assets with funding rates greater than ±1.5% (too small is not worth it). Then check the maximum leverage for this coin—preferably around 75x, so even if you get liquidated, there's still arbitrage space. If the leverage is only 50x, you need to ensure you can close your position in time.

Funding rates are usually settled over fixed periods, paid from shorts to longs or vice versa—so long as your funding fees offset the opening costs, the trade is profitable. Basically, repeatedly earning small fees on large principal amounts adds up over time.
