Both sides work against this trade now: funding costs −$18 a day on $10k at the current rate, and Gate is 0.112% cheaper against tradeXYZ than usual: you would sell low and buy high (−$11 if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.081%). Swap the legs. Mind the row above: over the last 7 days funding on this pair paid +0.090%, 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 0.090% in total (about 4.7% 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.
