Price spread, last 7 days—no price history on both exchanges yet

Together, before fees—needs both histories

Funding between these two exchanges is close to zero, so right now this pair is about the price spread alone: Gate is 0.110% cheaper against Orderly than usual: you would sell low and buy high, −$11 on $10k if it goes back to zero (this spread has no 7-day history yet).
