+Funding Rate Arb — Complete Implementation.

+Strategy:
+  Funding rates on perpetual futures represent the cost of leverage.
+  When funding is positive (longs pay shorts), short the perp and collect.
+  When funding is negative (shorts pay longs), go long the perp and collect.
+
+  The Hyperliquid API provides predicted funding rates via:
+    - predictedFundings: current predicted rate for each interval
+    - metaAndAssetCtxs: asset context including current funding
+
+  Entry: |annualized_funding_rate| > threshold (5-10% APR)
+  Exit:  |annualized_funding_rate| < threshold/2 or after N hours
+  Size:  scales with rate — higher rate = larger size
