Perpetual futures trading tools

PerpFinder's live-data tools pull order books, funding rates, open interest, volume, and sentiment from 30+ centralized and decentralized exchanges. Most refresh in one to fifteen minutes, depending on the dataset, so you read the same numbers professional desks read, with no broker subscription. The local calculators use your inputs and verified program rules. You can spot a funding-rate divergence in the heatmap view of the funding rate screener, compare execution costs with the trading cost comparison, and size the trade with the position calculator.

For day-to-day perp trading, the four tools that get used most are funding rates (find the contango/backwardation skew that makes carry trades work), long/short ratio (positioning indicator that flags overcrowded trades), liquidations (forced-selling cascades that often mark short-term bottoms), and open interest screener (where capital is actually being deployed). The fee calculator and VIP fee tier comparison are essential before you commit serious volume to any single venue — fee differences compound fast for active traders.

If you want a curated starting point, the live cost comparison ranks every venue by total execution cost (fee + spread + slippage) for your specific trade size and asset, covering both spot and perp markets. For longer-term research, our guide library covers strategy, risk management, and exchange-by-exchange comparisons in depth. To put any of these live views on your own site, the free embeddable widgets carry the same feeds in one line of HTML.
