How do I look for long-term funding to futures crypto arbitrage

I prefer to do this on the Lbank or MEXC exchanges (with MEX, there is a slightly different strategy, I'll talk about it later).

What is long-term funding?

By it, I mean funding, which has 3-4 or more accruals. How to find it? Everything is simple.

Let's look at the points:

1. Using the funding table.
I often use the general funding table, just scroll through all the coins in a row and look for funding (in the Lbank exchange column) for an equal number of percentages, for example 0,2/0,5/0,3 and so ON (BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN EVEN NUMBER, IT HAPPENS THAT FUNDING JUMPS 0,34/0,42/0,28 but it remains NEGATIVE).

2. We check the history of funding charges.

• I log into the coin and look at the accrual history.

pay attention to: The Funding Rate History Records

• If I see that the funding remains at least 2-3 charges, then I look at the price spread (the difference between prices).
• Ideally, it would be to enter with a spread in my favor or when the price is generally equal, (but sometimes you can enter a small unfavorable spread that plans to fight back with 1-2 charges)
• After entering into such a transaction, we either set up tg notifications to change the funding, or we just periodically go to the exchange and look at the funding manually.

3. An example from practice.
We recently discussed the LetsBonk coin:

• Period: 2025-08-08 11:00 – 2025-08-14 03:00
• It was possible to earn 10.3% with 1 leverage (the hedge was on the XT exchange).

Everything is simpler than it seems. The main thing is not to be afraid to try for $ 3-5-10, but try! It is much easier to learn in practice than in theory.
