Popdex 50x, Phemex 50x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
Watch: Payment intervals differ1h / 8h
Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$20.08Long Popdex: 24 payments, −$2.88; short Phemex: 3 payments, +$22.96.
