2 ok · 4 to watch

Watch: Thin at this size8.3 / 29.7 bp
At $10k entering Aster costs 29.7 bp, fee and slippage, 3.6× MEXC’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $1,000
MEXC 20x, Aster 10x. 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: −$6.48Long MEXC: 24 payments, +$68.16; short Aster: 24 payments, −$74.64.
Watch: Gap narrower than usual+0.053% vs +0.115%
Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
Watch: Short leg is thinner$95K vs $551K OI
Aster sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
