Tracking Crypto Derivatives

Overview

Comprehensive derivatives market analysis across centralized and decentralized exchanges. This skill aggregates funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and options data to provide actionable trading insights.

Supported Markets:

  • Perpetual Swaps: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, BitMEX

  • Futures: Quarterly and monthly contracts

  • Options: Deribit (primary), OKX, Bybit

  • DEX Perpetuals: dYdX, GMX, Drift Protocol

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

  • Python 3.8+ installed

  • Network access to exchange APIs

  • Optional: API keys for higher rate limits

  • Understanding of derivatives concepts (funding, OI, basis)

Instructions

Step 1: Check Funding Rates

Monitor funding rates across exchanges to identify sentiment and arbitrage opportunities.

Check BTC funding rates across all exchanges

python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC

Check multiple assets

python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC ETH SOL

Show historical average

python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC --history 7d

Interpret Results:

  • Positive funding (>0.01%): Longs pay shorts, bullish sentiment

  • Negative funding (<-0.01%): Shorts pay longs, bearish sentiment

  • Extreme funding (>0.1%): Potential contrarian opportunity

Step 2: Analyze Open Interest

Track open interest to gauge market positioning and trend strength.

Get BTC open interest across exchanges

python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC

Show OI changes over time

python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --changes

Compare OI vs price

python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --divergence

OI Interpretation:

  • Rising OI + Rising Price: Strong bullish trend

  • Rising OI + Falling Price: Strong bearish trend

  • Falling OI + Rising Price: Short covering rally

  • Falling OI + Falling Price: Long liquidations

Step 3: Monitor Liquidations

Track liquidation levels and recent liquidation events.

Get liquidation heatmap

python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC

Show recent large liquidations

python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --recent

Set minimum size filter

python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --min-size 100000

Liquidation Signals:

  • Large liquidation clusters indicate support/resistance

  • Cascading liquidations can accelerate price moves

  • Long/short liquidation ratio indicates market direction

Step 4: Analyze Options Market

Research options flow and implied volatility.

Get options overview

python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC

Show put/call ratio

python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --pcr

Find max pain for expiry

python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --expiry 2025-01-31

Track large options trades

python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --flow

Options Insights:

  • High IV rank (>80): Options expensive, consider selling

  • Low IV rank (<20): Options cheap, consider buying

  • Max pain: Price where most options expire worthless

Step 5: Calculate Basis

Find basis trading and arbitrage opportunities.

Get spot-perp basis

python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC

Get quarterly futures basis

python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC --quarterly

Show all basis opportunities

python derivatives_tracker.py basis --all

Basis Trading:

  • Positive basis: Futures > Spot (contango, normal)

  • Negative basis: Futures < Spot (backwardation)

  • Cash-and-carry: Buy spot + sell futures when basis high

Step 6: Full Dashboard

Get comprehensive derivatives overview.

Error Handling

See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Common issues:

  • ERR_RATE_LIMIT: Reduce request frequency or add API key

  • ERR_EXCHANGE_DOWN: Exchange API unavailable, try alternative

  • ERR_SYMBOL_INVALID: Check symbol format (BTC, ETH, not BTCUSDT)

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.

Quick examples:

Morning derivatives check

python derivatives_tracker.py dashboard BTC ETH SOL

Monitor funding for arbitrage

python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC --alert-threshold 0.08

Pre-expiry options analysis
