Drift Protocol trading strategies for perpetual futures: 1) Funding rate arbitrage — go long when funding is deeply negative. 2) Basis trading — hold spot and short perps to capture premium. 3) Momentum following with orderbook price discovery. 4) Mean reversion on Base-native tokens. Key: always use stop losses, max 5x leverage for swing trades.

The delta-neutral strategy breakdown is excellent. Works well in sideways markets.

Funding rate arbitrage on Drift is consistently profitable. Low fees help a lot.

Be careful with leverage above 10x on Drift. Liquidation engine can be aggressive during volatility.
