The Smart Trader's Debrief #5: Tackling sideways markets
What is Smart Arbitrage? Smart Arbitrage is a trading strategy that helps you hedge against market price fluctuations. It works by maintaining a delta-neutral position, meaning you hold equal but opposite positions in both the spot market (buying) and the perpetual swap market (selling). This balance makes sure that any gains or losses cancel each other out, minimizing the impact of price swings. The main earnings come from collecting funding fees, especially when the funding rate is positive.
