Both sides work against this trade now: funding costs −$13 a day on $10k at the current rate, and KuCoin is 0.067% cheaper against OKX than usual: you would sell low and buy high (−$7 if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.054%). Swap the legs. Mind the row above: over the last 7 days funding on this pair paid +0.197%, so the current rate has only just turned against you.

The current funding rate is far above what this pair has been paying: over the last 7 days it paid 0.197% in total (about 10.3% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment; at this rate the next one is about −$2.10 per $10,000. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
