Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.02411 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.01205 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00482 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00241 |
Grade A, and why
crypto-derivatives scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to crypto-derivatives — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Crypto-Derivatives Strategies
Overview
Covers three major crypto-derivatives strategy directions: perpetual funding-rate arbitrage, futures term-structure trading, and options strategies (volatility trading). The main exchanges are OKX and Deribit.
Perpetual Funding-Rate Arbitrage
Funding-Rate Mechanism
Perpetual contracts have no expiry and rely on the funding rate to anchor prices to spot:
Funding rate > 0: longs pay shorts (strong bullish sentiment)
Funding rate < 0: shorts pay longs (strong bearish sentiment)
Settlement frequency: OKX settles every 8 hours (00:00 / 08:00 / 16:00 UTC)
Annualized return = funding rate × 3 × 365
Arbitrage Strategies
Positive carry arbitrage (funding rate > 0):
Long spot + short perpetual = net delta close to zero
Return source: collect funding every 8 hours
Reverse carry arbitrage (funding rate < 0, less common):
Short spot (borrow coin and sell) + long perpetual
Return source: collect funding every 8 hours
Funding-Rate Signals
| Funding Rate (8h) | Annualized | Market Sentiment | Strategy Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| > 0.1% | > 109% | Extreme greed | Short signal (rate is unsustainable) |
| 0.03-0.1% | 33-109% | Bullish bias | Positive carry arbitrage is attractive |
| 0.01-0.03% | 11-33% | Normal bullish | Positive carry arbitrage is tradable |
| -0.01~0.01% | -11~11% | Neutral | No arbitrage opportunity |
| < -0.01% | < -11% | Bearish bias | Reverse carry arbitrage or stop-loss |
| < -0.1% | < -109% | Extreme panic | Long signal (rate is unsustainable) |
Arbitrage Risk Control
Risk points:
1. Insufficient margin: the derivatives leg requires margin, and extreme moves can liquidate the account
2. Funding reversal: a positive rate can suddenly turn negative, making the arbitrage unprofitable
3. Basis volatility: changes in the spot-futures basis can cause floating losses
4. Exchange risk: withdrawal limits, downtime, liquidation-mechanism differences
Risk parameters:
- Leverage: no more than 3x (arbitrage does not need high leverage)
- Margin ratio: keep >50% (far from liquidation)
- Single-coin allocation: <30% (diversification)
- Stop-loss: close when floating loss exceeds expected return over 3 months
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
