1 ok · 5 to watch
  • Watch: Thin at this size334.2 / 987.6 bp
    At $10k entering MEXC costs 987.6 bp, fee and slippage, 3.0× Aster’s.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage$2,000 + $500
    Aster 5x, MEXC 20x. 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: −$0.30Long Aster: 24 payments, −$12.30; short MEXC: 6 payments, +$12.00.
  • Watch: Gap narrower than usual+0.347% vs +0.897%
    Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
  • Watch: Long leg is thinner$180K vs $218K 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.
  • Watch: KYCAster No · MEXC Yes
    KYC before trading since Feb 2026; unverified accounts see market data only.
