3 ok · 3 to watch
  • Watch: Thin at this size26.6 / 14.6 bp
    At $10k entering TxFlow costs 26.6 bp, fee and slippage, 1.8× Aster’s.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $2,000
    TxFlow 20x, Aster 5x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
  • Watch: Payment intervals differ1h / 4h
    Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
    Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$3.02Long TxFlow: 24 payments, −$3.00; short Aster: 6 payments, +$6.02.
  • OK: Entry gap works for you+0.046% vs −0.005%
    You short the dearer leg. If the gap goes back to average, the short gains.
  • Watch: Long leg is thinner$23K vs $9.9M OI
    TxFlow sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
  • OK: Points on a legTxFlow points · Aster Stage 5
    Volume here counts toward the points program.
  • OK: No KYC on either legTxFlow No · Aster No
    Both exchanges let you trade without ID.
