3 ok · 3 to watch

Watch: Thin at this size24.3 / 7.7 bp
At $10k entering Aster costs 24.3 bp, fee and slippage, 3.1× MEXC’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$1,000 + $500
Aster 10x, MEXC 20x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
OK: Same payment interval1h / 1h
Both legs pay at the same time.
Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$8.53Long Aster: 24 payments, +$81.49; short MEXC: 24 payments, −$72.96.
OK: Entry gap works for you−0.018% vs −0.114%
You short the dearer leg. If the gap goes back to average, the short gains.
Watch: Long leg is thinner$95K vs $580K OI
Aster sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
OK: Points on a legAster Stage 5
Volume here counts toward the points program.
