# Crypto Derivatives Skill (Binance Futures Positioning)
## When to use
Trigger on any crypto recommendation where you need to know:
- **Is the market crowded long or short?** (funding rate, L/S ratio)
- **Is open interest rising or falling?** (fresh positioning vs unwind)
- **Are top traders disagreeing with retail?** (the classic divergence setup)
- **Is there flush risk?** (very crowded long with positive funding = liquidation cascade fuel)
- **Pre-trade event-risk check** for derivatives-driven moves before considering spot entry.
Do NOT trigger this skill on US equities, KLSE, or any non-crypto asset.
## Why this exists
Funding rates, open interest, and long/short ratios are first-class signals for crypto. CoinGecko (the `crypto-coingecko` skill) gives sentiment votes and dev activity but NOT derivatives positioning. Massive's crypto coverage is spot-focused. Without this skill, the "flow" leg of AGENTS.md §4 confluence is missing for crypto.
## Source
**Binance Futures public REST API** (`fapi.binance.com`). No authentication required, no key needed, no rate-limit issues at retail-research scale. Binance is the largest futures venue by far — its book IS the market for BTC/ETH/SOL positioning. For altcoins with thinner Binance liquidity, the read is less reliable and you may need to cross-check with Bybit/OKX.
