Tracking Crypto Derivatives

Overview

Aggregate funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and options data across CEX and DEX derivatives exchanges to produce actionable trading insights.

Supported Markets: Perpetual Swaps (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, BitMEX), Quarterly Futures, Options (Deribit, OKX, Bybit), DEX Perpetuals (dYdX, GMX, Drift Protocol).

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+ installed
• Network access to exchange APIs
• Optional: API keys for higher rate limits
• Understanding of derivatives concepts (funding, OI, basis)

Instructions

1. Check funding rates across exchanges to identify sentiment and arbitrage opportunities:

   python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC
   python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC ETH SOL
   python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC --history 7d
   

   • Positive funding (>0.01%): Longs pay shorts, bullish sentiment
   • Negative funding (<-0.01%): Shorts pay longs, bearish sentiment
   • Extreme funding (>0.1%): Potential contrarian opportunity

2. Analyze open interest to gauge market positioning and trend strength:

   python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC
   python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --changes
   python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --divergence
   

   • Rising OI + Rising Price = strong bullish trend
   • Rising OI + Falling Price = strong bearish trend
   • Falling OI + Rising Price = short covering rally
   • Falling OI + Falling Price = long liquidations

3. Monitor liquidations to find support/resistance clusters:

   python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC
   python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --recent
   python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --min-size 100000  # 100000 = minimum USD liquidation size filter
   

4. Analyze options market for IV, put/call ratio, and max pain:

   python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC
   python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --pcr
   python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --expiry 2025-01-31  # 2025 = target expiry year
   

5. Calculate basis for spot-futures arbitrage opportunities:

   python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC
   python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC --quarterly
   python derivatives_tracker.py basis --all
