Always split your capital equally — half to spot, half to futures. This is what makes the hedge perfect and the risk truly zero.
For funding rate arbitrage to be truly zero risk, your spot position and your futures position must be exactly equal in dollar value. This is the fundamental rule. Any imbalance creates directional exposure — meaning you can lose money if price moves against the larger side.
| Setup | ETH rises 10% | ETH falls 10% | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500 spot + $500 futures (correct) | +$50 spot, -$50 futures = $0 | -$50 spot, +$50 futures = $0 | ZERO ✅ |
| $700 spot + $300 futures (wrong) | +$70 spot, -$30 futures = +$40 | -$70 spot, +$30 futures = -$40 | EXPOSED ❌ |
| $300 spot + $700 futures (wrong) | +$30 spot, -$70 futures = -$40 | -$30 spot, +$70 futures = +$40 | EXPOSED ❌ |

As you earn funding payments, reinvest them by increasing both positions proportionally. If your futures balance grew by $50 from funding, add $50 more to spot as well — keeping the 1:1 ratio. This is how compounding works in practice.
Started with: $500 spot + $500 futures
After 3 months at 13.5%/mo: futures balance grew by ~$218
Action: add $218 to spot position too
New positions: $718 spot + $718 futures
Next month earnings: based on $718 not $500 → larger payment
Zero risk. $20 bonus on first deposit of $100+.
