Both sides work against this trade now: funding costs −$14 a day on $10k at the current rate, and Ondo Perps is 0.055% cheaper against MEXC than usual: you would sell low and buy high (−$6 if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.064%). Swap the legs. Mind the row above: over the last 7 days funding on this pair paid +0.142%, 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 0.142% in total (about 7.4% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
