Example:
1) Long position opened
2) 1 of the 3x daily funding events occurs. If any open position is held at 04:00, 12:00, or 20:00 GMT, Funding is either received or paid
3) SierraChart interprets this as a position being closed
4) Future orders to Close Long is interpreted as the opening of a Short. All subsequent trades are now off by one, where closing positions is actually associated with the opening of a new position.

Is there a way to handle Bitmex funding within SC? I've been unable to find documentation about this issue.

Wanted to follow up here due to lack of documentation. Could SC Engineering offer any insights on this issue?

It sounds like you are reporting a problem with the Trade Position Quantity not being reported correctly when using BitMex. If so, refer to:
Trading Information Windows: Incorrectly Reported Trade Position Quantity

There is nothing special Sierra Chart needs to do in relation to funding. BitMex needs to report the Positions correctly. It is straightforward and simple like that.
