Had a position auto-deleveraged (ADL) on SAHARAUSDT via Bitget a few weeks back.

What happened: Bitget's risk fund for SAHARAUSDT was depleted during a period of extreme volatility. When that fund runs dry, the exchange force-closes profitable counter-positions to rebalance the system — mine was one of them. My short got closed at 0.02796, independent of my own risk settings. The bot did nothing wrong; this is the exchange mechanism doing exactly what it's designed to do under those conditions.

Bitget opened a compensation ticket proactively, no action needed on my end. Formula used: (ADL price − mark price at that moment) × quantity. Payout came through — partial, not full notional.

What changed as a result:

- SAHARAUSDT added to the pair blacklist

- Moving toward a whitelist approach overall — pairs need to clear volume, age, and open-interest filters before they're eligible, instead of only getting excluded after something already went wrong

Posting this because a bot that only shows green numbers isn't trustworthy. ADL is a real tail risk in this strategy, even when the position itself is correctly hedged — worth knowing before you run real capital.

FundinbArb v1.2.4 is out — adds Remove Investment (pull USDT out of an open position without closing it, the mirror of Add Investment) and a dashboard Performance start baseline for excluding an early unreliable period from your lifetime stats.

Also fixes a partial-reduce bug where the bot could sell the entire spot balance while futures only shrank by the requested slice, briefly unhedging the position — and adds a post-fill entry guard that unwinds a trade if spot/futures fills land too far apart.

Note: MAX_ABS_BASIS_PCT now defaults to 0.05 instead of off (Bitunix users: set it to 0.0).

Update: bump both image tags to v1.2.4, then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Starter tier: refreshed source ZIP is under your purchase.

v1.2.3 is out — fixes the dashboard's Total APR calculation.

Previously it was computed from open positions' funding only, so the number jumped whenever a position closed and disappeared entirely once no positions were open. It's now a capital-time-weighted lifetime figure that includes realized profit/loss from closed positions too, so it stays meaningful across the account's full history.

🔴 Live 24/7 FundingArb Monitor – Real Exchange Data

Want to see FundingArb running in real time?

This live feed shows a self-hosted delta-neutral funding rate arbitrage bot connected to real exchange markets.

📊 What you are watching live:

• Funding rates on a exchange
• Spot / perpetual futures spreads
• Estimated APR opportunities
• Market scanner activity
• Real-time arbitrage conditions

FundingArb uses a delta-neutral approach: Long spot + short perpetual (or the opposite direction) to minimize directional exposure while capturing funding rate differences.

🔐 Self-hosted by design You run the software yourself.
Your exchange accounts, API keys, and funds remain under your own control.

⚠️ This is infrastructure transparency, not financial advice.
Funding rates change constantly and opportunities depend on market conditions. Past performance or displayed market conditions do not guarantee future results.

FundingArb Bot v1.2.2 is out — fixes a margin-check bug on Bybit and Bitunix.

The bot's pre-entry check was comparing position size against wallet equity instead of real available margin. Equity doesn't account for margin already locked by positions you already have open, so in some cases the bot approved an entry that the exchange then rejected for insufficient margin (Bybit error 110007). Both exchanges now read the real available-margin figure before sizing an entry.

FundingArb v1.2.1 — Bitget now fully tested & live, plus two hedge-safety fixes

Update available. Summary of what changed and why, since a couple of these came out of real operational incidents on my own live account rather than planned work.

Dev Update: Live dashboard on the landing page + Bitget status:

Two updates from this week:

1. Live bot view on fundingarb.net

The landing page now shows a screenshot of the actual running bot — deployed capital, open positions, funding collected, real P&L. Not a mockup, not a backtest chart. The idea: if you're considering a self-hosted bot, you should see what the operational side actually looks like before you buy.

2. Bitget support — final stretch

Bitget integration is in live testing. Entry, hedging and funding collection are working. One remaining edge case in closing the futures leg is being fixed — I don't ship exchange support until the full open→collect→close cycle runs clean in production. Update follows here once it's released.

As always: no promised returns. Funding rates vary, the bot just captures them delta-neutrally.

— Support

Welcome to FundingArb 👋

This is a fully automated, delta-neutral funding rate bot — built to production standards and running live on Bybit and Bitunix.

Your next steps:

1. Receive your setup guide link via email after purchase.
   More information is sent via email.

2. Start in dry-run mode — the bot defaults to zero real orders until you explicitly disable it. Run it for a day or two first and watch the logs before going live

3. Questions? Reply here or reach me directly at support@fundingarb.net — Pro gets 30 days support, Lifetime gets 90 days priority.

A few things worth knowing before you go live:

• Always verify your API keys have trading permissions only — never grant withdrawal access

• Start with the default capital limits and adjust once you're comfortable

• The bot handles crashes, restarts and orphaned legs automatically — but set exchange-side alerts as a backup during API outages

Good luck — and feel free to share your first live results here. Real numbers from real deployments are always welcome. 🚀
